Jon is on a mission.  His goal?  Baby proof the house.  So, at his urging we have made several safety oriented purchases and are slowly redecorating our abode.  The crib and bassinet are now draped in romantic safari style tulle (read: mosquito netting that will keep the cats out).  All of our previously nondescript beige outlets are now overlaid with delicate opaque adornments (read: plastic outlet covers which will come in handy when Raspberry starts crawling).  His piece de resistance, however, is definitely the elegant new palisade safeguarding the descent to his atelier (read: baby gate that he installed, power tools and all, to block the basement stairs).  Yes, Jon has accepted his mission and has achieved success.
