Here's the nursery! In case you're wondering, that is
the painting from Em's Facebook profile pic. The artist agreed to repaint it when I shared our story. It was a surprise motherhood gift (thank you, Howingtons, for hanging it). Actually there's a whole lot be to thankful for in this pic: a newly-restored dresser compliments of Emily Richards (and Em); a gorgeous crib gifted to us by a group of friends and the ring-leader herself, Janet Weed; and some beautiful bumper pads and a skirt from Alisha and MauraLee. Not to be forgotten in all this is the soccer-ball rug, one of the many takeaways from an amazing year teaching 1st grade at Glendale. So much to be thankful for!
Some of my colleagues and a couple of students decorated my office. The door was also covered in pink with a banner that reads "It's a girl." I've been feeling a lot of love from everyone on campus. I'm going to leave everything as long as I can. The celebration goes on. . .
Our first walk in our "Bob" stroller. Between our Graco car seat style (called "Lowery") and our stroller, both our dads are getting some representation. Gotta love it!
We figured the Sunday stroll would put little Asha fast asleep, when we peered down, however, she was as bright-eyed as ever. Love that girl!
Her first flower: un clavel rojo (a red carnation).
