Getting Ready

Down to the last two weeks.

I am starting to feel the end. The joints are popping, the lost ability to bend over, the lost ability to get up from the couch :-) Jolene likes to say I have a ball in my belly.

The name is pretty much decided upon...well maybe not the middle name yet.

We have a bed set up, borrowed from a friend, in our room.

The dresser that my dad, Abby, Pete (Abby's boyfriend), and I restored is in the girls room. The baby's clothes/blankets/etc. are going in there

We bought the dresser from the tip (junk yard) a couple years ago but was in need of a new coat of paint.

When Brandon's parents come over in November we will put up bunk beds (from Freecycle) in the girls room and then move the baby in with them. Lord willing they will all sleep well together.

Thankfully their room is big enough to get bunk beds, a cot, their clothes, and all their toys into. I am trying to always keep bedroom three open for guests and also as a school room. I am not sure how long that will work but for now it is good.

Here are some pics

We're praying for you guys! The rooms look great! Anabelle and I love the rug and the art! . . . Oh! I just burnt my whole grain chocolate chip waffles while I was looking at your blog. You should feel honored!
