Even though we know we'll eat our words later ... we'd like to announce that the nursery in Provence is finished. (Now, before we continue this blog entry, let's wait for the howls of laughter from people who already have small kids to diminish. Good.)

Yes, these are all pictures of the same room, taken from three different angles. (Click on them to enlarge.) Those of you who have stayed with us in the "Cozy Corner" (so far that would be Jake, Solly, Andrew, Shyam, and Eric) probably won't even recognize your old room.

You'll also notice there are two different cribs in the nursery. After we went and bought a new, standard-size crib to replace the ill-conceived Ikea one, we realized that the twins will be about six months old by the time we come back to France -- and twins only sleep in the same crib for the first six months. Of course we'll need TWO cribs next spring! What were we thinking? Obviously our brains are not working right because when we bought the second crib, we completely forgot to buy a second mattress to go with it. What Einsteins we are. Every time we go back to that baby store in Montélimar, the salesgirl pumps her elbow and makes a "ka-ching!" sound. If she's working on commission, she's rich now.
