The upper part of the porch is basically done. It felt a bit decadent to hire a painter, but it still seems like money well spent. (Pix of the front from last summer here.)

Posting has been light between child care and renovation - we're within reaching distance of having the top area of the porch done.
The Wuzzle continues adorable, and has been in an Excellent! Mood! for the last few days. His teeth don't seem to be bothering him any more, though none have appeared.
We took him to the Science Centre yesterday, which was a seething mass of energy from all the kids who had been taken there to get them out of the rain. It wasn't really possible to concentrate on anything (also, it cost $36 to get in, including $8 for parking), but he seemed to enjoy himself.
