Assembling the first piece of baby furniture

I ordered some of our baby furniture the other day, they had the glider/rocker in stock so we were able to bring that home and assemble it.

Brian decided it would be better to follow the directions step by step instead of trying to figure it out on his own...in this picture he is putting together the base of the chair.
Adding on the back...
Enjoying his hard work...it will probably stay in our family room for the time being to provide another place to sit and relax.

He accomplised this task in 40 minutes...hopefully it's just as easy to put the crib together.

Hidden Talents

Yep, a little known fact about my husband-he can play the piano. He took lessons as a kid and played all the time on his mission and right after, but as school, work, and life caught up with him his skills got a bit rusty. For christmas he got an electric piano. According to him it feels just like a real piano, but is small enough to fit in our apartment and has a volume control so we don't disturb the upstairs neighbors. It's fun listening to him re-learn all of his favorite songs. He isn't quiet ready to show off his skills, but he is very happy to be playing again.

Happy Birthday Brian!

Brian's 25th birthday was yesterday. It's been a 3 day celebration! On Sunday we went to my parents house for dinner and cake, last night we went to his parents house for dinner and cake, and tonight I made him his favorite meal (and we ate leftover cake). It's been really great, I love birthdays. Brian wasn't so excited about this one-I guess 25 seems old to him. It is weird to think that when I met him he was only 22, it seems like just yesterday. He just gets better with each year that I know him.

Brian's birthday and my brother Zach's birthday are a week apart so we do a joint celebration.
