This is the story of a crib...

So we decided to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary with a lovely dinner at a neighborhood restaurant followed by a few hours of crib assembly. If there is ever a "Survivor: Married Couples", this should be one of the challenges: assemble a six-million-piece crib on the night of your anniversary. Surely many people will be voted off the island after that.

Lucky for us, we are still married.

Kevin's brother David and his wife Jaime had already taken all the parts out of the box during their visit last week, so all we had to do was check to see that everything was there and get assembling.

It was not the MOST frustrating thing we have ever done, but it definitely makes the top ten list. In the end (2 1/2 hours later), after much crawling about on the floor, loosening and unloosening, a few choice phrases known previously only to sailors, we do indeed have a crib. And it even has a drawer!

Now all we need is a mattress and a baby.

Now, this is the superwoman who put her goddaughter's crib together WITHOUT instructions? I don't believe it.
