After having Jason gone for the last 2 weekends, Anya & I were both very glad to have him home to hang out with today. I think he was glad to not be sleeping in a hotel for the weekend either!

Due to nicer weather (aka above freezing), most of the snow in our yard is gone, and that is fine by us! Jason is already planning his spring yard work plan of attack and I can’t wait for it to be nice enough for him to get started on it. Our shed finally unfroze, so we were able to get in and get the infant car seats out–so I can stop worrying about that now. I disassembled the whole thing to wash the fabric parts and got it reassembled today, so now all we have to do is install it in the van. I remember when I was pregnant with Anya, we practiced putting the car seat in and out of the car several times. Now, we are old pros at it–no practicing necessary this time around!

Today we also ventured out to buy a double stroller and I am very excited about our new purchase. I did ALOT of research on double strollers, both on the internet and in stores, and was mostly unimpressed with those I came across–until I happened upon the Sit-n-Stand strollers. I read a lot of great reviews on them on the internet, but had yet to actually see someone in person using one. Well, Anya & I were at the mall last Monday and I saw a lady with one, so I tracked her down and got her opinion on it. She had a 3 year old and a 6 month old (similar to what we will have) and had nothing but good to say about it. So, today we went on a mission to get one at Baby Depot and we were in luck…they had 1 in stock and it was $30 dollars cheaper than what I had found them for on the internet. I was thrilled! So, we came home, assembled it and Anya had fun playing with it, in it and pushing it around all night. Who knew a stroller could make us all so happy?!?
