My new home

It's been just over a month since I moved out on my own and into a cosy little one-bedroom apartment. I'm still unpacking boxes and rearranging cupboards but for the most part this place now feels like home.

Still needing to hang some photos

This work area is atrocious!

I'm looking for baskets to go up top for mittens, hats and other miscellaneous things

Birthdays!

Today is a day of milestone birthdays at either end of the spectrum. Today Mike and Angie's little baby Beck turns one! He had a birthday party yesterday and was as busy as any one-year-old can be. He's grown so much and gotten cuter by the day (if it's possible this kid can do it). What a change from when I first met him in November 2011!

 Beck last November at only a few weeks old

 Yesterday Beck was totally into his yogurt 

My grandfather also celebrates his birthday today. He turns 92 and in this day and age that is a true milestone. I'm going to call him at noon today and do the only thing I know I can to make his birthday brighter - play him "Happy Birthday" on the violin.

 This is why I love my grandfather - Easter 2010 and he's playing MarioKart with us!

Happy birthday to my very "young" grandfather

I'd better brush up on this before I play Happy Birthday for him
