Sarah and I have been keeping it quiet for a while now but in the past two weeks we have broken the news to most people who need to know. Sarah is pregnant again and is due in early January. If all goes well we’ll have a tax deduction for 2007. We already know the gender. The baby should be a boy. This helps us to plan room allocations for the new house we are moving into at the end of the month. The two children’s rooms are decorated today in boy and girl colors so we can place Madeline in the one with girl colors and the boy in the one with boy colors without having to paint the rooms. Somehow this is a great comfort to us to know that we don’t need to modify wall colors amidst a flurry of other issues we need to deal with to migrate from the condo into the house. The closing is next Wednesday. The HVAC will be installed starting on Thursday. Someone offered us a swing set that we’ll have moved by Thursday. Two weeks later, three weeks from now, the moving van will appear and take us to Newton.
