A new week--phew!

Hooray for a brand-new week! After last week's hassles, I'm more than ready to start anew. Thank you all so very much for commiserating with me! Things are mostly back to normal. We got a new battery for the car. The washing machine works again and if the pipes were frozen, they thawed with no damage (that we know of yet...knock wood). Maren did end up with a couple of fractures to her wrist: one transverse and one buckle. Here she is with her new pink cast:

She's doing fine and hasn't complained at all about wearing the cast; we'll see if that holds for the rest of the 3.5 weeks it has to stay on.

As for this little monkey,

he's still climbing out of his crib, and twice he managed to OPEN closed bedroom door! I ordered a crib tent from Amazon and paid for expedited shipping so it arrived on Friday afternoon, so I put it up and found that if I install it per the instructions, it doesn't fit my crib! There were nearly tears. From me! I think we may be able to rig it so it will work, especially since Amazon won't take it back now that it's been opened. Not sure how they think I could have figured out it wouldn't fit the crib without trying it on since there are no measurements on the box and my crib is most definitely what I would consider standard-sized, so I'll be adding my 1-star review to the others for this product on Amazon. Boo!

I did want to mention that I still have some cute vintage Valentine assortments in my Etsy shop. Shipping is cheap because I'm mailing them First Class, so you can order for the next day or so and they'll should still get to you in time for Valentine's Day on Monday.
