The nursery is underway!


We've started on the nursery! I have been so excited about starting work on Kilee Anne's room. Scott and I thought it would be easy, but we were wrong. Since we've hardly used the room for anything since we've lived in the house, we didn't notice a very important detail about it. . . the previous owners had painted the room on top of a layer of wallpaper and border! Scott and I have been using boxcutters to scrape the wallpaper seams, border, and loose wallpaper spots off of the wall so that he can use drywall mud to recontour the wall. It's going to be a big job, but I think the room will look great when we're done. We'll be posting before and after pictures on the blog to show the changes! The first before picture is shown. Eew . . . yuck! Wish us luck! We're going to paint it two shades of pink, a darker shade on the bottom half, then a chair rail and a light shade on the top half. Her bedding will be floral patterned in pink, blue, yellow and green. I am SO excited!!

It has begun . . .

Well, our family blog is officially under construction. I figured I might as well join the masses and start sharing what's going on in our family with everyone! (Plus, it just sounds like a lot of fun for me since I'm 7 months pregnant with Kilee Anne and have less and less to do every day as I get bigger and bigger!) Hey- Scott's the website man, I'm just trying to catch up technologically with him. We'll see who has the better website at the end! :o) Ha. More to come!
