Nursery

Who knew assembling furniture was so fun? I was expecting the worst - having heard horror stories about putting together a crib. I feel like we might be up for some kind of record because I think we got ours assembled in less than a half hour. Feeling inspired (and a little ambitious) we thought - why not go ahead and put together the rest of the furniture. Well - let's just say that Ikea furniture takes some time. Not that it was difficult...just a LOT more pieces. But it feels awesome to have this nursery on it's way to being ready.

So atop this dresser is where Baby Clark will get his diaper changed...I hear babies get their diapers changed every so often.
Where Baby Clark will be sleeping...and yes - we will get him a mattress to sleep on - it's on our to-do list.
Storage for the little guy's toys and what not..
and a side table...to go beside a rocker or a glider or something...which is also on the to-do list.
And Charlie begged to be put up on the blog...so - here's a pic of Charlie in the nursery.

And what do you think of the walls? Chris is quite the painter - he did an awesome job and we are really pleased with the color. If you can't tell from the pics - it's a light green. And when it's really sunny outside it looks a little yellow.

Uncle Aaron and Aunt Hannah make a visit!

We had a great time visiting with Aaron and Hannah. After a yummy lunch from Zaxby's, scenic drive and shopping in Berea, we spent Saturday afternoon/evening enjoying the "spring" weather on the back deck.
Sunday we headed up to Cincy to watch the Cubbies play.

Taylor and Abby threw us an amazing baby shower! It was so fun to have all of our friends together to hang out for a night. We are so lucky to have such awesome people in our lives.
