Like a Bird

So along with being totally excited to welcome our baby in February, these are just a few things we've been working on at home.


Setting up the crib. It's early, I know, but we couldn't wait. It's a good thing we got it early though because it still smells like paint, so hopefully the smell will be gone by the time we need to use it.

The changing table. I feel so lucky to be able to have one of these. I know that diapers can be changed pretty much anywhere, but I love that I can organize everything on this and it should help my back from having to change the diapers on the floor or somewhere like that. Plus, it looks really cool!

New furniture arrangement by Keith. I guess he's nesting too! He did this when he decided to vacuum under the couches.

Fun shiny beady things hanging from our dinning room light for fall. This doesn't really prepare us for our baby, but it's fun to look at.

We waited for the weather to cool and then we loaded our little garden with flowers and a few edible things.
Lettuce, Tomato, and Strawberry plants.

Parsley, Cilantro, and Mint.

Finally, now that it has cooled off here, I planted these beautiful petunias and a fern in my hanging baskets on the back porch. I can never get things to live in them during the blasting hot summer!

Everything that was stuffed in odd places in the extra bedroom (now baby room) had to find a home. Now it's all organized in the office closet. I love it! I was scared to attack this task, but it was easier than I thought and Keith helped me put the cool baker's rack thing together.
