I found this tonight looking through our Bahamas photos–we could totally be an ad for Keen (our favorite summer footware)
The nursery is almost done. I keep saying that, I know, but it’s always true. After the 36 week checkup Friday, I ran a few more baby errands. The net result is frames for the ledges in the nursery and a jumper for Baby Girl’s first Christmas. Can I tell you how much fun it is to think about Christmas with a little one!!!! I am just over the moon, ok, that could be the hormones, but it’s way more fun to think about her and surprises than how swollen my feet/legs/hands are.
I digress…frames, SO FUN. I am in the process of acquiring photos of
our family as infants. My grandparents are AMAZING historians and I
have several photos of them as infants–totally adorable.
William Taylor Reynolds–ages young and younger 🙂
Billie Jeayne Starr–small and smaller
Thank you Granddaddy for sending those files to me!! I can hardly wait to see them printed and framed in your first great-granddaughter’s room.
Other nesting news: we painted the entry last weekend. I have loved this cocoa paint named, Sweet Georgia Brown for years now. Last weekend Ben decided all by himself–I promise–that we needed to paint the entry. Thankfully I already had picked the color. Now I know for certain that I want the family room to be the same warm cocoa shade. Maybe next weekend?!?!

The new camera. Benjamin surprised me with a 30D yesterday. I thought it ironic that it was given to me the same day I acquired more empty frames. (Ben has this odd disliking for empty picture frames hanging on the wall.) All I can say is YIPPEE!!!! I am anxious to try it out on little girl, whenever she presents herself for introductions 🙂 For now, you and I will have to make do with pictures of the freshly painted entry.
All the frames look so cute, and I love that Sweet Georgia brown. thanks for the update… scallop away 🙂
Will you please come and decorate my house?! You clearly have an “eye”. I don’t. Love the paint, love the frames, love the old pictures….wonderful!
loooove that brown with the red accents – excellent!
This past weekend, our sweet church friends gave us a shower. I don’t know what your experience with baby showers is…yes there was cake and punch (yummy petit fours and raspberry serbet punch) and lots of laughter and an, let’s be honest, overwhelming pile of gifts. But the BEST part of this shower were the amazing women and their blessings for this sweet baby girl. I really cannot put into words how meaningful, thoughtful and special the afternoon was and is and will continue to be for me. To those there, in body or spirit–"THANK YOU" from the bottom of my heart. Words will never be enough. To every other woman blessed to be having a child, I truly hope you are as blessed by your loved ones as we are by ours.
