The Long Awaited Nursery

Rhonald and my dad painted the walls a tan color
Then they spent the morning putting the furniture together
The larger glider is new - the smaller rocker was Rhonald's when he was a little boy
Our "theme" is a vintage cars theme

We had a very fun and eventful weekend! The thing I have been most anxious about is getting the nursery ready before Nicholas gets here. With a lot of help from my parents we were able to accomplish this task in only 2 days. It was so much fun watching the room come together-a room I have been dreaming about! Rhonald and my dad did all of the labor and then my mom and I decorated the room. Although there has already been some rearranging of decorations (and I realized I did not think to buy any lamps) the room is basically done and ready for our son. We keep walking in there and talking about how real it all seems now. I spent some of today rocking in the glider and looking at all of the books that Cole has. I cannot wait to read them to him and lay him down for bed in his crib. One gift that was very special was that my mom took Rhonald's old rocker from his childhood and had it redone for Cole. It meant so much to Rhonald to be able to share that with Nicholas. We can't wait to see him rocking in it! Putting this nursery together was an amazing time and I know none of us will ever forget it!
