Mase Free Weekend

Jeni and I sent Mase up to her parents' house last weekend. Unfortunately, rather than partying we decided to paint his room and move furniture around in preparation for Baby #2. Here's Mason's new room. The picture doesn't show his new dresser which is the dresser I had growing up with a replacement drawer from the dresser Jeni had growing up. (Yes Jeni and I grew up with identical dressers.)

The baby will sleep in a "wing" of our bedroom. It had been a third bedroom, but a previous owner combined it with the master bedroom as a kind of sitting/dressing area. It will be interesting to see how this works out. The longer term plan is to eventually have Mase and El/La Segundo/a share his bedroom.

After all of our hard work Saturday we went to a work party and then to see the new Batman movie. We were out of the house at midnight! And we were exhausted the next day as we put on additional coats of paint. Before we left to get Mason on Sunday I took some pictures of Jeni at 20 weeks. Nice!

This is a picture taken on December 17, 2006 when Jeni was ~20 weeks pregnant with Mason. She thinks that she was sticking her stomach out in this one. Interestingly, this picture is as out of focus as the new ones.
