What a Friday...and Saturday

Friday was a holiday for us---Admissions Day, so Toby and I had the day off. I started the day with a relaxing manicure and pedicure and then we went to pick up the cribs and car seats bases from Baby Emporium. It took both of our SUVs to bring everything home. Jerry was kind enough to come over and help Toby unload the VERY HEAVY cribs and mom came to play with the dogs. Toby and Jerry were able to assemble 1 of the cribs in the nursery. We were originally going to put 1 crib in our room and the other in the nursery and when the babies are about 3 months old, we would move the crib in our room to the nursery. Well, once Toby and Jerry discovered how complicated it was to assemble, we decided to build them both in the nursery and get an Arm's Reach Co-Sleeper (a big bassinet) for our room for the girls to sleep in for the first 3 months. Toby and Jerry did a great job (with Leia's supervision) and mom went to buy groceries for the bbq that Toby was going to prepare that night. I relaxed on the couch =).

On Saturday, while I worked my LAST wedding of the year, Leia and Lucy took a trip to the groomer. Leia is about half the weight she was when she went there as they cut all of her hair off (I'm sure she is happy since it is so hot here) and Lucy got a nail trim and a bath.

Thanks Mom and Jerry for your help on Friday!

Jerry and Toby unpacked crib # 1 and are beginning the assembly.

The finished product - look how happy they look!
