Fun framed projects!

I got some fun things framed for around the house! The first are some really cool (color copies) sketches from a friend of Grandpa's family (Kennedy) ... they were the Christmas cards that the friend sent for several years (during the 1920s and 1930s).

I love how detailed and tiny they are!

The second is a piece of textile that I bought when Mom, Emily and I were on our two week cruise around South America. I bought it on the Falkland Islands (how many people can say that?!?). I think it turned out so cute! The weaving is only about 4" tall ...

The third is a photo from the children's book, The Advice of the Dandelions, that Granny Farley read us when Emily and I were little and would go stay with them during the summers. I bought the cute antique frame on eBay - it has a domed piece of glass, and I think it's just perfect for the picture of Larkspur the donkey.

Our Wonderful Nursery!!!

Matt and I headed to Florida on Christmas day to spend the weekend with his family, and while we were out (think HGTV makeover!) my mom, aunt and sister took over the nursery! The transformation is amazing, and it is so completely wonderful. I love how it is classy, not too cutesy, and just perfect for our little boy!

Matt and I completed the room with the chair rail that was painted and ready to install, but we still need some pictures for the walls. The clothes and toys are already coming and I know there's much more on the way ...

Now we're ready!!! (or at least, the nursery is ...)

Also -- I started a blog for all the baby updates and photos. I'm not going to post anymore here -- you can find them from the link on the left or by going here.

All decked out for the holidays

I had so much fun decking the halls of our home for the holidays! It was really neat to have a house to host the annual Christmas party in and get to share the joy (and lots of food) with our friends.
