Maternity Pics...

So, after trying a few times to have our maternity pictures taken (Colorado decided to have snow), we were able to take them on the trail behind our house on Sunday.

A friend from college is a great photographer, so she came and did the pictures for us, and we love them! We even got Jackson in a few shots. She's posted a few on her blog, so check them out...

Snow Days

For two days straight, we were hammered with non-stop snow. The totals in Parker? 24 inches! Snow days mean different things in our family. For Frankie, it meant his work was canceled on Thursday. For me, it meant get in early on Wednesday and prepare for more snow coverage through Thursday night. And for Jackson, it meant playing for hours in the white stuff!

Frankie took advantage of his snow day and put together TJ's crib. It looks great! I'll post a picture soon. This weekend, we're going to paint the chair rail and putting that up on the walls. I've picked out some wall hangings for one of the walls, and then we have to get shelving for the the third wall. Piece by piece, his nursery is coming together.

We're finally seeing the sun today, and so the snow should be melting off quickly... until the next storm, I guess! :)

Baby Steps

We're making baby steps in getting the nursery going. Frankie finished the painting last weekend, and it looks really good.

Frankie put together the changing table before the Saints big win over the Giants... the crib is next.

My girlfriend, Natalie, had a friend who made us a wall decal to go over the crib. It's a Mary Poppins quote, of course! She put it up for us this weekend when they visited to celebrate my birthday. It looks so cute!!!

Yesterday, after checking out a few day cares, we stopped by Home Depot and bought the chair rail that will go between the green and brown on the walls. We'll paint it white, then put that up. After that, it's just putting in the furniture and adding decorations! I can't wait to see the final product.
