Mom and baby are doing amazing, Dad is adjusting to life well and loves this little girl more than anything.
Once life calms down a little bit Ill blog about her whole story - crazy - but we are so blessed to have her in our live and couldn't be happier. We love her and we may be a little biased but think she is the cutest little girl ever!!
First the reception, then the friend trip, then the wedding!! Who says we have to be traditional and in a certain order?
In the end Eternity is what matters!!
Congratulations Russell and Arielle.
Just a few highlights of the party!
He loved to hit the pinata!!! Way to go!
Jeanette and Jenn did a great job on the cake. Jenn the decorations looked FABULOUS as well
This was the final life of the pinata - Tyler destroyed it - or he just broke it off the string and Bob had to finish breaking it. Good job Tyler way to safe the day!!
TA-DA!!
My friend Abbey hand painted that flower on the wall!! I loved it from the moment it was up there. Just what I wanted. Kelly did a great job on all the walls, he worked so hard on them and they turned out Fabulous. Thanks Kelly!
I was feeling so left out by not being able to help paint - so here is my project for her room.
This is the bedding, My Mom and I made the bumpers. They are my favorite and I think they turend out to be SO CUTE!! I couldn't be more happy with them if I wanted to. It took months and month to find everything we needed. Once I found out it was a girl i set out to find colors. My mom and I shopped for 6 hours for different material and we found this idea at Garnder Village. So I was put to work. I worked on the size of birds I wanted and I cut them all out. Findidng the dotted material was SO HARD. I couldn't find the size of dots I wanted. Finally after like 3 months of searching I called Material Girls in SJ and had my sister Jeanette go look the dots and see if they were big enough. From her descriptiont they sounded right. I cruised over there and sure enough PERFECT. Ohh man see paitence does pay off. My mom and I finished them in about 2 days - it was so much fun. And my mom made a skirt and we made the cutest valance to match it. What do you think?
Here is the valance we made as well. The strips is what the skirt is made out of and then we have the matching green dots. I tried not to make it so much pink in the room and this very much off sets everything but brings it all together. LOVE IT I must say!
My cute mom finshing the last bumper!! LOVE YOU MOM thank you so much for your wonderful talent and helping me design these bumpers. I am so excited and know she will love them!
Finishing the bumpers ont he crib. You can't see the skirt but its the same as the valance - thats what started the entire process. I love it!!
And I had to throw sock monkey in there. This was a gift from my brother and his girlfriend Lydia. I love this sock monkey he is my favorite thing!! Don't you just want to carry him everywhere. he he he makes me smile.
Well that is her room we still have some shelves to put up and places to find homes for things but we are ready for her to be here. We couldn't be more excited and feel so blessed that she wants to be part of our family. We are anxious and nervous. I don't know how anxious she is she is pretty cozy in there - one day she will make her grand entrance. We will be ready and waiting.
