In an effort to distract myself from all the waiting, Pablo and I have been keeping busy working on many projects in the last 10 days.
Today, I finished the website for my uncle’s sushi shop. As you all know, Pablo is the designer in the family, but I am not without skill. This is actually a site that I designed and coded up by myself! The url is Ko Ko Sushi. If you happen to live in or near Westchester, please go eat there!
I also coded a site for my sister, which she designed. Margaret-lee.com
Over the weekend, we installed Elfa in our closet and Matilda’s closet from the Container Store. I have always dreamed about having a closet that is really organized. Check it out!
Last week, we installed a new basking platform and some fake plants for our turtle tank! Don’t they look happy!
We hung some curtains and decorations in Matilda’s room. Because she loves monkeys so much, we put monkey decals. I also hung photos of her family in Spain around her bed.
Oh and PS. Its snowing again today.
Merry Christmas to all! Its 10:30 am on Christmas Day and we haven’t had a baby yet! We are going to spend the day at home playing with our new Wii (a gift from uncle Dave) and watching our new flat screen TV (our Christmas gift to eachother). Matilda got a doll crib and new baby doll, but we plan to give it to her when her brother is born so she will get a baby the same time as we do!
It snowed a lot this weekend (8 or 9 inches I think).
We tried to get Matilda to go out and play in the snow, but she wasn’t having it. I guess being born during a blizzard does not ensure that you like snow!
Pablo on the other hand really enjoyed his first time shoveling out our driveway and digging out our car.
We have the house more or less setup — and a mess

We painted it exactly the same color as my old bedroom and bought the same furniture.
