The past week was full of freezer cooking for when baby Clark shows up. I have stocked the freezer with spinach pie, chicken penne, and perogies. On top of that I have finished packing my hospital bag and getting the nursery together.
I have also been spending a lot of time folding cranes for the baby nursery. I have folded roughly 750 cranes so far and still have 250 to go...
Japanese tradition says that gifting a thousand cranes to a baby symbolizes the wish for a long life and good luck. I want to fold 1000 cranes for Clark to hang as a mobile in his room. Since we are probably moving soon I will likely place the cranes on strings and hang them in his window.
So, I'm off to fold more cranes and then I'm going to make a poster for my Mom's upcoming marathon. She is running the Rock-n-roll Marathon in Virginia in a couple of weeks. I wish we could be there to support her. Hopefully next year I can run one with her, if she is up to running a second one. I loved my first one and can't wait to do another.
