Take a look at our nursery...

It's still empty *what's that kid waitin' for*, but many out-of-town family / friends have asked to see what our little nursery actually looks like. I snapped a few pics today, but I must admit, I'm not thrilled with them. I don't think you get a true sense of what the room is really like. Basically, you're just going to have to come over and visit for a better perspective.

The first pic is a three quarter view showing the fantastic giraffe mural Sarah and Sophie painted, and the impressive window treatments they did. My wife is so talented. I hope that's hereditary!

The second shot is what we call the "reading corner". A couple book cases loaded with brain tingling material and toys. Sophie was kind enough to bring us a couple of books written by her talented uncle, a noted children's author, Robin Muller. How many times will I read "Row row row your boat" or "Little Wonder"? The over-under is currently set at 160. All we need now is to add a glider or a rocker to complete that corner.

I couldn't fit everything into a couple of snaps. There are the two wall mounted shelves we bought at Michael's (that I had so much fun sanding, filling and painting - then decorating with monkies), the Ikea corner shelf (loaded with giraffes) and the beautiful matching crib / dresser. Right now the dresser is so perfectly organized with the diaper-depot on the side and the little diaper genie down below. How long before the depot has been tossed on it's side and the genie is just covered in poop? I give it a week.
