I determined that it's impossible to get a decent one of the two of them together. Annika is way too wiggly and she can't hold the baby very well.

Nicaragua
I'm adding a Nicaragua page, which has a few pictures to start. It's a work in progress, but you can take a peek. I'll allow you.

Everything AND the Kitchen Sink
If you decide you need a new kitchen faucet, think again. Then think about it two or three times more and buy a new sink too. Since you'll have to take the old one out in order to pry the corroded old faucet from its unreachable position. And don't forget that the sink is attached to a garbage disposal, a drain pipe, and a dishwasher. Not to mention hot and cold water spigots and sealed on with caulk. I had every tool in the shop in my kitchen and we still ended up cutting off some of the parts. But, a mere 6 hours later as bedtime looms, we get the whole thing reassembled, the sink replaced, recaulked (that stuff is MESSY!!!) and discover that the cold water line from the faucet is too short to reach the spigot. So, I send hubby out on a wild goose chase to buy an extension, only to discover after he returns with the pipe, that I was connecting it to the wrong cold water spigot and I didn't need the extension after all. Yes, there are two cold water sources under my sink. Now that it has been a few days and hubby's exasperation with Ms. Fixit has subsided (sort of), I'm enjoying my new faucet immensely. It doesn't drip as soon as I turn my back. Nor does is start running in the middle of the night. It doesn't spray water straight sideways or out the back of the handle. And the sprayer is, well, intact. I even think the last little piece of the old sprayer handle finally floated down the drain, so my garbage disposal has stopped making terrible noises. I use my kitchen faucet more than about anything else in this house. Remember my job as wiper? The faucet is my secretary.
