Update on Nursery Paint

We are still working on the stripes for the nursery wall. My dad is helping us get the stripes right and straight. Some of the paint is getting really sticky for some reason so we won't be able to completely finish it today like we hoped to, but by Wednesday I think it will be done.

Here are all the stripes taped out.

Here it is after we added the tan paint. Here it is with green and tan stripes

Here it is with green, tan, and part of light brown stripes

Here is the room with green, tan, light brown and cream stripes. Just needing the chocolate brown.

Here is a picture of what all the stripes look like (minus the blue tape in this picture). We still have to clean up some of the lines but you get the picture of what it will look like.

Painting Nursery

Brian and I started on the nursery for our baby boy! We wanted to go ahead and get it done because I start my last semester of nursing school in August and will be pretty busy. Here are some of the pictutres so far that we have.


Below is a picture of the pink walls that we had in the room before.

Aww, what a sweet husband :)

White wall is primer that is going to have stripes up and down it and one coat of green.

Finished green walls.Cream on stripes wall and green closet.

We still have to put the stripes on the cream wall, we plan on doing that on Saturday.

Package Arrived!

Today we got a package in the mail from our adoption agency. It was our "educational toolbox" that we have to complete for our requirements. But what I didn't expect was the extra suprises in the box!!! Here is the view of the books.

We also got a cute little giraffe and t-shirt that says "Special delivery from Ethiopia".

Happy Birthday DAD!

Yesterday, July 17th, was my daddy's birthday! We met up with him at Shogun for dinner. Then we went to Coldstone Creamery for dessert!!! After that we went to putt putt (and they got to play ALL 3 courses). After putt putt, we went back to our house and we all watched Gran Torino together. It was a very fun night! Love you Dad, Happy Birthday!

SHOTS!!!

Today we went to Louisville's International Travel Clinic and got shots for our trip to Ethiopia. I had to get 4, Mom got 5 and Brian got 6. The lady was super nice and helpful with information about what we did and didnt need and what we maybe need. Mom doesn't like to watch shots. Brian doesn't like them either. Me, I could care less one way or another. I like watching them. I bruise though.

Here is Brian being goofy during the shots.

Still no worries....

Uh-oh! We almost lost him. lol. Brian forgot to inform us that he hadn't really ate today!
My poor baby is better now :)

Baby Shopping!

First I have got to say I LOVE shopping for babies!!!!!!!!!!!! Here is the crib that I bought today. I am going to get the chest of drawers on the 24th because I have a 15% off discount I can get on it. The crib and matress I bought today because if you bought the bed before the 23rd you got a matress for 50% off. See, I am finding some good deals!!! We are going next week to buy this exact bedding in the picture, and it will be 15% off because it is on sale too :) My mom also bought us something today... she bought us this chocolate colored glider and she got the ottoman that goes with it for free! Babies 'R' Us has some great deals right now. As Christa would say about this glider.... "It is heaven for your butt!", lol. THANKS MOM AND STEVE FOR OUR GLIDER AND OTTOMAN!

New Burp Cloths!

I ordered some of these super cute burp cloths off ebay! They came in the mail today and look so good! 3 Say Bennett (his so to be first name) and 3 say his given name which will be his middle name (I edited it all out but the K.). I love monogrammed things.....especially if it has MY baby's name on it :)
