Baby Nursery Under Construction

I must begin this blog by stating how thankful we are that Randy's grandmother arrived safely in West Palm Beach, FL last week. She's been a "snowbird" for many years now and really enjoys her time there. We will miss you Sitty, but are looking forward to your return when the baby is born.
Randy and I are also extremely thankful that his parents arrived safely in Turkey on Thursday. They are taking a well-deserved and long over-due vacation for 14 days. We missed them this weekend, but hope they are enjoying every minute of their time there.
Much progress was made this weekend in preparing the nursery for the baby, thanks to my parents and Ryan and Katie. The process began bright and early Saturday morning with the men hauling some large furniture to storage (aka Randy's parent's basement).

Soon to be "mom and dad" in our newly painted Sage Green nursery. After 2 days of hard work, the remainder of the project should be completed next weekend. My parents and brother are returning to help assemble the crib, dresser, and changing table and complete some finishing touches.

With the help of Katie and my mom we tackled Babies R' Us in about 2 hours flat...the registry is also a work in progress. I am quite certain you don't need half of what is in that store to raise a baby/child, but hey, what do I know?!?

This weekend wasn't all work though, we managed to head downtown for dinner in Greektown and a trip to the casino. Unfortunately no one hit it big, but we had a great time together!
THANK YOU to all of our help...we love and appreciate every one of you!!!
