Family Fun {Big Boy Rooms and Baby Dedications!}

February is shaping up to be a busy month around here! 

Mimi was in town to help paint Chase's big boy room, and we also painted the nursery that weekend too.
It felt good to get some things done around here!

Chase's room is coming along well and I will try to post more photos of it soon. It was a khaki color before (top left photo) and baby boy's nursery was green. We were also able to get rid of the heaviest leather couch in the world that weekend too. I love craigslist.

We painted both rooms the same shade of gray. Have you ever tried to choose a color gray? Whew, it isn't easy.
 But I'm really happy with the shade we chose.

The next weekend we headed up to Chicago for the night to celebrate our nephew Luke's baby dedication. We had a great visit and Luke is getting so big -- too quickly!

I could just eat him up!

 Chase and Luke get along so well. Luke was going in for a smooch! :)

 

 

L - O - V - E {A Special Gift}

With Valentine's Day right around the corner I thought I would share a gift I gave to Wes at Christmas time. I found the idea back in the fall on pinterest (I know, you're shocked!) and immediately knew I wanted to make this for Wes, using Christian's footprints. Luckily, I have many many footprints of his and my friend Rachael, who took his precious photographs, put this special gift together for me. He loved it!

Guess who helped?!

 

When I look at it, I am reminded of many things, but the biggest thing is that Christian knew nothing but LOVE.
Thanks again Rachael, I LOVE how it turned out!
