New adventures in hi-fi

This has been a crazy week! I guess I can blame it on nesting, but we (I) decided to rearrange our house. The way it was - picture a square divided into 4 quadrants - we had the living room and office in front and the dining room and kitchen in back. Since we're not throwing any fancy dinner parties soon, we decided to swap the dining room and office. We've moved almost everything, just the table and sofa to swap now. So the dining furniture will take up the smallest room (and we'll also cram the piano in there) and the large room that connects to the patio will be office/living/playroom. It will basically be wide open space for Miles to roam. When everything is finished (HA!) I'll post a picture of the new play space. Oh, yeah, Wayne also decided to dismantle and stack the drums. So now we have an artful display of percussion towering in the playroom. We left Miles' favorite - the Hi-Hat - standing so he can sorta bang that and the low stack of drums.

This weekend Miles had two 2 year old birthday parties, but we only went to one, Millie's. Braden had a fever Friday, so we figured we'd let him recover. Although Miles was so worn out from Millie's, I don't know if he'd have made it very long. She had a bounce house and cute froggy cupcakes to go with her froggy theme. Miles had a blast, and now the countdown is on for his own 2nd birthday!

The last bit of excitement is that we've moved to the dark side of computing. Actually it's the the sleek, brushed aluminum side and so far I'm doing fine! We got an iMac! We'd ordered one over the tax free weekend and lo and behold 5 days later Steve Jobs presents a brand-spankin' new model. I called them and they happily shipped me the newer, faster, sleeker, shinier AND cheaper model, which arrived today. So I'm in the midst of transfering my life over to iLife (hah hah), hopefully without a hitch. Thank goodness for external hard drives! Anyway, it will take up residence in the new playroom, and it's so nice, there is literally a screen, keyboard and a cord, none of all that other junk that ends up taking over the desk. Anyway, off to move my music.... I'll let you know how it goes!!
