Nursery & Contest

For inquiring minds, here's what we've been working on. There are a few finishing touches I'd like to add, but we'll see what time allows. Derek's mom made some great Scottie stencils, so I could paint these drawer knobs to coordinate. Derek spent Saturday night assembling a glider and ottoman, which are in the living room. I anticipate some late night hours spent there. I'm getting our bags packed (that's right, the experts say more than one) and washing the baby's early clothes. We're in countdown mode now!

CONTEST: Ok, so some of you are going crazy about not knowing the name, and some of you are probably over it. But, it's time to make the wait worth someone's while. Send me an email with your best 5 guesses. If you guess correctly, Baby Thompson will have a suprise for you upon his arrival. You'll see a hint in this post, but things are not always what they seem...

Long time, no update

Sorry to those who've been waiting... So much of my present spare time is spent setting up the nursery, writing thank you cards, or preparing taxes. With lessened engergy, every hour is precious ("Just wait," you reply. I know, I know). We've been given some lovely baby showers, and soon I'll post pics from those. I'm grateful that so many of our needs have been met. Only 7(ish) weeks until we meet Baby Thompson!
