Surgery Update

My Surgery is set for February 13th. I'll be in Pleasanton at the Deer Valley Medical Center. Taryn and Mom will both be coming with me. I say it's to keep each other company - they say it's because I'm a big baby. I'll be stuck at home going stir crazy for about a week and a half. I'll be appreciating the PS3 Taryn got me for my Birthday more than ever. I think Kendall's planning on coming up to hang out and keep me company for awhile. I asked him if he would be my Wet Nurse. He said he'd get me ice cream, but no sponge baths. What a rip-off. So if anyone else is bored between the 13th and the 23rd, I'll have plenty of time.

The House

So here's the place. A beautiful area of Danville, CA. 2k square feet, 3 stories, 3 bedrooms and 2 1/2 bath. And we finally have a garage! And a backyard! Here's the front door ...

Our main family room. Hooray for vaulted ceilings and high windows.

Here's the formal dining area. Still don't have our dining furniture yet, but we're working on it. Sexface, you might notice your wine shelves mounted on the wall - and Bill, your wreath is center stage.

Here's our living room. Looks familiar, right? It's just like our old apartment. Oh, and it's Christmas time ...

Here's our kitchen.

Our backyard. Nice brick patio leading all the way through the side yard to the front of the house. We even bought a chiminea for those cold Bay Area nights. As you can see, the cats love it.

A shot from our stairway.

A shot from our catwalk. To the left is our master bedroom, to the right are the two spare rooms (the guest bedroom and the nursery).

Here's our guest room. We even have Bill's water color hanging on the wall.

Here's Eli's crib. We're still working on the bedding. Taryn and Cathy are doing it themselves. Also the curtains.

Here's our glider. May not seem all that special to you folk, but this bad boy is gonna be the best thing we've ever owned (aside from the sleep number bed, of course).

Here's a random shot of the nursery closet. It's nice that it's a walk-in. Plenty of room for all of Eli's crap. Again, we haven't yet decorated, or even had all of the furniture arrive, so things are still in the works. We'll update as we finish.

So Eli's nursery used to be the office. Here's a shot of the loft (which used to be my special music space, with guitars mounted on the wall, my amps out and hooked up, and all that good stuff), which is now our library/office. Since I spend more time reading, writing and working than playing music these days, it's still a nice getaway space.

This is looking out from the loft to our master bedroom. As you can see, my music equipment has been strtipped down to the guitars that fit on a single rack. Everything else has been relagated to storage in our finished attic. We must be getting old ...

Belly: Week 27

Here's the Belly at week 27. Still pretty petite, but looking good.

This is the Sexy shot ...
