Our condo complex is having a garage sale this weekend, and Stace and I are taking part in a big way. We've now been married long enough to have accumulated stuff we just no longer need. We had an early morning, Stace's morning a bit earlier than mine, with shoppers outside wanting to buy by 6:30. We did pretty well today and hope to sell a few more things tomorrow. It feels so good to get rid of stuff, and make a bit of money too. Our money will go towards a fifth-anniversary trip later this year.
Photos of today's festivities will have to be for another blog posting, as our computer isn't recognizing the camera right now and it's too late in the day to deal with it. Early morning today, another early morning coming up, and we also lose an hour of sleep because the time is changing. Not that I'm complaining about that, it's always great having that extra hour of daylight in the evening rather than in the morning (when I'm still not - um - OUTSIDE yet.)
For the Cora update - she has had a great evening, after a rough few days. Nothing too serious, but that measles shot last week made her an unhappy camper this week. She had a fever earlier in the week, and then on Thursday (one week after the shot) she broke out with tiny bumps all over her arms and midsection and a very red, blotchy face. All a normal reaction, but she also was very fussy/cranky, and her solid-food eating slowed to barely anything.
She also might be teething, as she has started chewing on her finger again a little bit. She hasn't sprouted any new teeth since Christmas, and in the last two months she hasn't shown any real signs of teething until now. I gave her some teething tablets today and she has been in better spirits. Tonight she was back to eating more again.
She is much more confident in her standing now, and even will take a few steps when you hold both her hands securely. Today, during the garage sale, we had her in the playpen down in the garage and she "cruised" the perimeter, taking steps while holding onto the sides.
