Ryan's dad and brothers have tremendously helped us over the summer. They've been a blessing to be around and have been SUCH hard workers. Hopefully by the end of this week, the new sprinkling system will be in and we'll be able to put in new planters. Next week, we'll seed the lawn. I'm sure our neighbors are looking forward to seeing grass again. I know I am. :)
My parents have also been helping us gear up towards baby's arrival. My dad is building a changing table/dresser. So far it looks amazing. He's done an incredible job and I'm looking forward to seeing the final product. It's going to match the crib that he got us perfectly!
Dad has also matted and framed the pictures that we cut out from one of our favorite children's books to use as the inspiration for the room decor. Below is a picture of the type of picture we're using, but I'll have to post the finish matted product once they're hanging up in the room.
Mom has been helping me (*making for me* ) the baby's bedding and curtains. The curtains are almost done, but the bumper pads and crib skirt look amazing :) Tonight, Ryan and I are going to buy a matress and it will be so fun to see the crib all put together.
Today is Ryan and my second anniversary! We went on a special trip a couple of weeks ago since we didn't want to risk being gone when the baby came. In the midst of the chaos of the house remodel and the complete landscaping makeover, this trip is truly a blessing. We had no schedule whatsoever and so it was a nice time to just sit and talk as we looked out over the ocean below the property where we were staying. Truly Beautiful! Now as we are home again and once again hitting the grind stone, we are getting more and more excited to meet our precious little man.
