Furniture Shopping

We spent pretty much the entire day today in the rainy Boston area shopping for new furniture.  We bought a new bedroom set for Susan and I and then spent a while trying to piece together a new family-room set.  I guess the downside to buying a bigger house is you have to furnish it!  It was a long day and a lot of money was being thrown around, but Noah was a total trooper.  He was absolutely great, with only a mild episode of fussiness towards the end.  He was quite talkative today including some great singing along to the Mumford and Sons CD in the car!  I truly believe he is really a smart kid - he knows the words to almost every song on the Babel album at this point...it's really funny at times....seemingly out of the blue, he'll belt out a few verses.

When we were furniture shopping, he was very involved.  In addition to proclaiming he liked pretty much every piece we saw, he would also insist on sitting on any couch or chair we looked at and lying on any mattress we tested!  It was actually very cute!  And, at one of the places, he met two little girls - one his age and one 5 - and he immediately started entertaining them.  Within in moments, they were all running around together having a grand time!  He is such a cheeky, funny, smart, happy little boy - we really are quite fortunate!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!  Thank you for all of the donations!
