Nursery

Thanks to Aidan's incredibly talented Grandmothers, the nursery is taking shape. Mom (a.k.a. Nanny) has been busy working on all the bedding, window treatments, and wall decor frames. Also notice the blanket on the back of the chair- Nanny put lots of love into making it. Aidan will stay warm and cozy. Everything has turned out so cute. I couldn't be happier. 

Gran has been a huge help. She painted the walls and baseboards of the nursery to brighten up the room. She also took ideas from several different paintings and came up with the art work that covers the one wall. I couldn't have imagined a more perfect picture. I can't wait to see Aidan's attention captured by the painting while he's hanging out on the changing table. His little imagination can run wild. 

I'm still moving everything around to try to find their place. But for so long the nursery has been nothing but big ideas in my head. It's so exciting to see it all come together. Thank you, Nanny and Gran, for all your love and hard work!! 

    

Love is in the Air

This weekend started off with a bachelorette party for Ashley. She will be heading to Jamaica in the next month and will come back a married woman. She will be a beautiful, blushing bride. I am so happy for her. Andy better realize what a wonderful gift God has given him. And Ashley didn't do so bad herself- we love Andy. They are two of the most caring people you'll ever meet. Married life is wonderful. Ash, you know as soon as you return from the honeymoon we will have to have a talk about Aidan and Libby needing another friend! 

I always look forward to time with the girls.  The three amigos- 

the prego, the beautiful bride and the hot new mama. 

Following the celebration, I headed home to my Valentine. We spent the evening with friends enjoying food, fun and laughter. My wonderful husband sent me flowers and I have a much needed prenatal massage to look forward to. He's the best! 

Bethany update-- It's a boy!! 16+ weeks and counting. Bethany and Ken were able to get a sneak peak and with a convincing photo have declared that Aidan will soon be playing with his new bestest friend, William Paul. If they are anything like me, Bethany, and our cousins they will be planing and performing Christmas extravaganzas, plays, and fashion shows before we know it, but maybe they will come up with their own imaginative entertainment.   

Aidan update-- 7 months down, a little less than 3 to go. According to the books he is weighing in at 2.25 pounds and measuring 14.8 inches. He can now open and close his baby blues (which are sporting lashes at this point).
