The Stuff in the Middle

Here's a quick update on the stuff that goes on in between everything else. I had to make a trip to the hospital to get some blood work done, and so Miley and I took a little tour of the place while we were there. At one of the entrances they have a little replica of Halifax in different seasons of the year, and when Miley and I came by the nice old men at the desk turned the trains on for us to watch. Miley was fascinated!

We had the missionaries over for dinner the other night and I made some chocolate cupcakes for desert. Miley thought it was her birthday again so we stripped her down and let her have one. Can you tell she enjoyed it?! After we got her all cleaned up she saw me frosting the rest of them and started to cry because she wanted more. She only got to have one though, That was quite a mess to clean up!

On Labor day we went out to lunch with some friends at a little restaurant in downtown Halifax called 'Your Father's Mustache.' Apparently, we are not cool like all the other dental students unless we eat there frequently, so we had to make our debut ASAP. After lunch we walked around The Public Gardens which is a huge garden in the middle of the city. The air feels like fall now, and so it's a bit cooler, but it was really good to get out and enjoy a beautiful day. During Miley's afternoon nap I thought I would run out and do a little shopping while Justin was home with her. I was the only one in the parking lot. All businesses are closed on Labor Day here. It is definitely not a day to get out and shop.

In other news we have been working on the baby's nursery. Here is a little sneak peek... This is a "BEFORE" picture. BEFORE, basically, any and everything. But stay tuned because it's almost ready.

Jessica, hello! I feel so out of touch with you. I was happy to read all your posts and see the fun pictures. We miss Miley, TONZ! She is getting so big. Can't wait to see the baby's room, I am positive it will be darling. It looks like you three have been enjoying Justin's time at home. I am also happy to hear that you have made some great friends.

I wanted to call you the other day to tell you something but Jason thinks it costs us money to call you, even if you don't pick up the phone. True? Anyway, call us when you have a free breath. Miss you guys!
