Countdown to Collin

Some pictures of the boys' room that we finished this week. Thankfully, Pottery Barn sells the matching comforter to the bumper and quilt set we used for the crib so the beds match! Notice Ashton's firetruck sheets which he loves as well! He has adjusted so well to the twin bed over the past few months. We added more stars and Collin's name to the wall as well as shelves for all the knick knacks. We really love the way it all came together.At first there were tears shed about having to have all this stuff in the one tiny room but we made it work!


These are all special things we got when Ashton was born and we hope to add Collin's stuff soon! The giraffe is from my brother's Safari in south Africa shortly after Ashton was born and I love the mother and baby elephant picture also from that trip! The cross is from my parents for Ashton's baby dedication and the other picture is all of our family on his dedication day. The silver cup is from Wes's sister and her family and the wagon had flowers in it sent to us from work.






This chest of drawers was in my mom's room when she grew up, and then my room, and I took it to college and painted flowers all over it. Wes has worked on stripping and refinishing it this summer and I found some cute baseball knobs-it turned out great!





The crazy packed changing table full of stuff! We're crammed in alright!





Random picture-Helping daddy blow up beach balls last week.







Last week was crazy!!! Ashton's ear swelled up from a mosquito bite-poor little guy. Looked like Will Smith in Hitch. It was HUGE and everyone at the pediatrician's office was impressed! Then last weekend, we ended up having Ashton's foot x-rayed because it got caught in a closet door and his ankle looked pretty bad. It turned out fine but this poor kid gets stuck at the doctor too often!




He was still smiling though!


Thomas the train day at Toys R Us! He is now completely brainwashed and LOVES Thomas. He carries around his Thomas toothpaste everywhere! It is pretty cool stuff!



A few random pics from a work shower I had a few weeks ago. I am so blessed to work with such sweet ladies! We got some great stuff for Collin and lots of essentials! We're ready for you and eating eggplant parm tonight buddy-please come on!!!!
