The end of an era - El fin de una era

Today mom and dad said good-bye to their trusty pink Corolla. They did so with mixed feelings. I'm including a picture of their new Corolla, as you can see this time it's gray.



Hoy mamá y papá se despidieron del Corollita. Mamá lo abrazó y le agradeció lo buen carrito que fue por tantos años. Ahora pueden ver el Corolla nuevo, esta vez es gris.

More Bathroom news

Remodeling seems to be going well, I see a lot of trash sacs and I hear dad yelp in pain a lot...a sign of progress. The countertops are in, and the faucets installed. I know dad painted last night and after he was done he told mom he hated the color as it reminded him of baby puke...well I guess he won't need that as a reminder very soon.

He is planning on working as much as possible during the weekend, so their plans of going to the kiddo's party on Sunday have changed. That means I get to keep them all to myself!

Still to do:

Shower

Finish tub install

Floor

Toilet

Lights

and...repaint...

Poor dad has a lot of hours ahead of him, and mom has many more nights of "wobbling" up and down the hallway. 

I'm including a picture of the baby puke walls

Class time!

Hmmm, Mommy has been coming home recently with a look of sheer horror. Either she has been witness to a meat packing plant, or she has gone to the newborn care and birthing classes. She muttered something about placenta and afterbirth, but I didn't understand any of it. All I caught was that I'm supposed to get a new toy that some little brat has rolled around in.... I guess that the new toy is a peace offering from the little invader that will be here in just a few weeks. I'm excited to see her, but not sure how it is going to change life for me. Will I still get to rub my butt on the couch? Will I still get to lick Mom's face during movies? Are they going to yell at me for snoring too loudly??? So many questions, so little time....

Demolition!!! Demolición!!

What are all those noises! It seems this house is about to fall. My dad has been very busy remodeling the bathroom, from what I can tell it is going very well and he is doing a great job. Here is one of the pictures...

Qué es todo ese ruido! Parece que esta casa se va a caer. Mi papá ha estado muy ocupado remodelando el baño. Al parecer todo va muy bien y él está haciendo un trabajo fantástico. 

Arriba está la foto.

Early Mother's Day! Día de la Madre Anticipado!

Mi mamá se ve feliz, hoy le llegaron unos regalos para el día de la madre. Ella se conmovió mucho con los chocolates que le mandó Tontalia. La canasta se ve deliciosa, ojalá me los comparta... aunque lo dudo mucho!

Isabella le regaló un certificado para hacerse un masaje y para que le arreglen las uñas, muy oportuno de parte de Isabella que la tiene con dolor de espalda por estar creciendo tanto.

Mañana tienen una clase para aprender lo que necesitan hacer durante el parto, estoy segura que mi papá está "feliz"  de ir a esa clase. Luego en la noche van a ir a comer donde Bo y Lisa...espero que me lleven a ver a Gus y KC!!

Mom looks very happy, today she received some early mother's day gifts. She was very moved to see that Tontalia (aka Natalia) sent her a basket of Godiva chocolates over the mail. The basket looks amazing...I really hope she shares some with me, but I doubt it.

Isabella was very considerate and gave mom a certificate to get a massage and her nails done, that is the least she could do after all the back  pain she is causing my mommy.

Tomorrow they have their child birthing class, I'm sure dad is "really happy" to go and watch the scary videos. Then in the evening they will go over to Bo and Lisa's for dinner...I hope they take me so I can see Gus and KC!!!

Baby Shower

So, there were a bunch of people here today, including some really cool babies....  I hope that my new sister is half as cool as these guys were.  One of them (Alex) gave me a ton of treats and laughed a lot.  I like him.... a lot....  He can come visit any time.  

So Mom was all weird today.  She dressed up and had a whole bunch of women in the living room cutting out pictures, eating a lot of food (they gave me NONE), and doing all kinds of games.  Did they invite me????  Of course NOT!!!!  I'm a woman too!!!!  I can do the games!  All I have to do is drool on the right spot of the magazine and I win candy bars....  Boooooooooo.

Dad's friends Trevor and Nikol visited from South Dakota, and one of his all-time best friends, Emily, came in from St. Louis to see Mom.  Ems is really cool.  She has Satanic cats (Harry and Ozzy) and a cool dog-friend (Boomer).  I got to chill out with them a few weeks ago at their crib, but Ems didn't bring my buddy along.  I'll have to convince Mom to make another trip to see him.  I think he's kind of cute....  

Soooooo, Mom got a whole bunch of gifts from all of her friends, and she is VERY happy about it.  She was telling Dad how thoughtful and generous her friends are.  Of course, NONE of them brought ME anything....  Obviously not very thoughtful...  

Well, I'm going to post a couple of pictures from Mom's shower today, and one from her recent Cancun trip.  Of course, they never  take me anywhere on vacation, but that's okay, because I got to hang out with Gus and KC when they were out of town, so I think I got the best end of that deal.  Until next time....WOOOOOOOOF..... slobber.... drool.....
