Seriously, are they not so cute? And perfect for each other.....
In other Chewning/Devoto news Kara is gainfully employed! She accepted a position yesterday as a 6th grade English teacher in Houston. We are excited that she will still be so close. Now if we can just get those last few family members in PA down to Texas.....
And on to baby news.
I think that I have an acceptable amount of information in my head, some useful, some completely useless. Unfortunately for me, KC, and possibly Peanut very little of this information actually relates to caring for a child or all of the equipment he/she needs. KC and I have browsed at a few different places, taking a quick look at baby furniture, strollers, car seats, etc, etc, etc. At this point we are just basing what we like on the fabric or design used on the item. We do realize that this is probably not the best way to keep your child safe and sound. There has to be a book or how to guide for this, right?? At this point I will be relying on the expert knowledge of those friends with babies to steer me in the right direction. Or as it happened this week, Sex and the City. When Christina said she got a papasan chair at her shower i thought to myself, "Is this something I should get? Do I have any idea what that is? Do we have room for it?" After seeing her shower pictures the papasan chair was pictured in the box with big lettering on the front. I thought to myself "I know what that is. Miranda's neighbor brought it over to keep Brady quiet on that episode of Sex and the City". Note to my mother: Here is where you leave a comment saying you are coming to stay with me until I feel comfortable on my own or Peanut starts school. Whichever comes first.

If anyone knows of a good book about this stuff feel free to forward the information. (consider it a favor to Peanut)

Laura, as long as you have Jill helping you out with this stuff, you'll be fine! Also, someone got me the Baby Bargains book early on in my pregnancy. I honestly never opened it, but it's supposed to be helpful. I think it's like a Consumer Reports for baby stuff.
Congrats to Kirk and Devon! And to Kara! Very exciting time down in Texas! Miss you guys!
You two have GOT TO UPDATE THIS.
