Daddy S working hard for Baby's Arrival

As previously mentioned in one of our family newsletters, Chris has been working very hard on all sorts of projects in order to get ready for the arrival of our little one. Here are a few snapshots of his hard work on the nursery!

My mom and Chris painted the nursey back in January when my parents were out in AZ visiting after we first broke them the news! Chris later put up the White Wainscoat to complete the look. Two walls are green and two are yellow. It looks great!

So, it may be a combination of being cheap or resourceful, we aren't sure, but we decided to buy our crib and changing table/dresser off of Craig's list and refinish them both ourselves. Thanks to alot of help from Chris' parents, we were able to complete this project in far less time than anticipated!

Sanding down the Crib! Very tedious job for sure!

Don't let him fool you...he enjoyed every minute of the fun project being outdoors in 105 degree temps! :) Wouldn't you?!

I'll have to find before and after photos so you can see how incredible the work really was that went into this HUGE undertaking of these two projects!

After a new facelift, makever, and new hardware, the dresser/changing table was ready to go in the baby room and yet another project was crossed off Chris' list!

The nursery is almost set up and ready to go. Photos of that should be posted this coming week, we hope!

These memories will be treasured in your heart forever because they are all "firsts."

My heart still carries the memories, the emotions, the fears, the joys...the anticipation of my first pregnancy/baby...all of it...like it was last year...and it's been 32 years!

I'm praying for all of you.
