So, we have heard fro many of you that you want us to start blogging again. I have to say that I was surprised that anyone was interested in all those garden pictures last summer.

You probably notice that this blog is new and has a new name. Lauren thought that it was appropriate to retire the old blog, Prospect Brooklyn, since we will soon be moving away from our fair city and have many new things coming our way. I liked the old blog and thought it would be kind of nice to take the Brooklyn name with us. As you can see, I lost. We are pleased to introduce you to this wonderful new blog!

If you are reading this you know that there are a lot of changes coming our way and we have been busy preparing. Yet still there are soooo many things to do. And we add new projects all the time (“hey, don’t you think it would be nice to make baby shoes for all of the people in our birth class?” “Yes! What a great idea!”) So, we have a lot going on right now.

We bought and assembled a crib from Ikea several weeks ago and we bought and assembled a dresser from Ikea a couple of weekends after that. We are using the corner of our bedroom as the nursery, so there has been much shuffling of furniture, getting rid of things, disassembling and reassembling furniture, etc. Anyway, we found out earlier this week that Lauren’s coworker was going to give us a hand-me-down bassinet. Where are we going to put that? Of course we could have said no, but this is one of the round bassinets that is very expensive and looks cool, but we would never spend money on. So this morning, we picked it up, came home, took down the other crib and put up the new bassinet. I successfully stored the “old” crib under the bed in the guest room much to the chagrin of Hazel that cat who has solidly claimed that area as her own safe space. It took her a few hours to feel okay again after the disruption.

So, we are people who like projects. I was thinking the other day about all the things we have made or plan to make for Sprout and thought you might think it is funny too:
-quilt (in progress)
-dyed white onsies and t-shirts
-baby shoes
-short-sleeved pajamas
-long-sleeve flannel pajamas
-baby hats
-Lauren knitted a hat (and a matching one for me)
-flannel wipes
-portable changing pad
-changing pad covers
-crib skirt
-quilted bibs

And there are many other things we think we should endeavor everyday. We are excited.

We love all of you and are happy you are reading along with our adventures again!
