Mama's Night Out

Today is the due date!  Baby boy seems happy where he is, so we are actually having dinner at a bar in the city and headed to Mark's movie premiere.  Everyone go see Ice Age: Continental Drift this weekend!

Update:  Just got home from the movie and it was incredible!  Mark designed & created the ocean, which is featured throughout the movie.  Go see it & pay full price so we can buy lots of diapers.  :)

Having contractions, but nothing major...maybe tomorrow.  So glad we could take our little boy to his first movie!  Darla had a great time having a sleepover with Mamee.

Getting ready for Baby Brother!

9 days to go!

The "nursery" aka half of our bedroom

 Mark refinished this changing table we found on craigslist.
Our treasured painting of Cinque Terre (by Didi) is hanging above.
We're just hoping the little guy won't spray it.  :)

 Since Darla still uses her crib (from Nana & Papa), we found a mini crib on craigslist.  The Shorter family gave us an adorable bedding set that fits perfectly after a quick hem & a few tucks.  It will also fit the full-size crib later on.

The canvas above the crib will have fabric letters spelling his name.
I still have to make that.  Better hurry!

I used illustrations from a yard sale picture book to frame 3 farm scenes above baby's dresser (from Mamee & Didi) and rocking chair (craigslist).

The handmade quilt from Aunt Kay is the perfect finishing touch.  We're ready!

Happy Father's Day!

 Darla gave Daddy a painted frame, a painted birdhouse, and a few other gifts.  We spent a great day eating lunch out, at the park, and enjoying the perfect weather!
