same_sky | The cuteness that is Elizabeth

Our living quarters are now livable again, though it was touch and go there for a little while. It's funny how adding one piece of furniture made it just completely necessary to shift around fifteen other pieces of furniture. It started small--just shifting our two desks around, but then we had to move the exercise bike for that to work, and when we put it on the other wall, it was the first thing you saw when entering the room; in fact, it was the first thing you saw as you were walking upstairs, and we all know that exercise equipment is horribly ugly, so that didn't work at all. (What a horribly ugly sentence that was.) But to move the exercise bike, it would have to go in the bedroom. And in the bedroom, we realized that if we moved the bed to another wall, we would have less dead space and more usable space to actually put the exercise bike, or it would also have to be the first thing you see when entering the room, so we did that, which meant that everything else had to be shifted. But now everything is mostly where we want it for now, at least in terms of heavy furniture. I'm sure there will be fine-tuning, and plenty putting things away. It's beginning to look pretty nice, though.. better than before, which is good. If it had looked better before we started, it would probably be worth crying over. Hopefully we can finish it up this week and take pictures.

Speaking of pictures, I don't know if I mentioned it before, but my husband is an excellent photographer, and Elizabeth is a beautiful baby. These were taken Sunday, and she's six and a half weeks old. I think they turned out wonderfully.

M's favorite. You don't see all that many smiles when they're this young.

I liked this one because it looked.. real. This is what Elizabeth looks like, in a way that the camera doesn't always pick up.

This one is my absolute favorite. She looks so mischevious. I know it's an illusion cause babies this size can barely hold their head up, much less plan mischief, but it's so sweet.
