TV Stand: aka Goliath Is Here!

Standing seven feet tall and four feet wide at a weight I can't even imagine... Our TV stand is here and bigger than we expected! When we visited the shop it looked big but having it in a much smaller space shows how massive this thing truly is. Ali's family was nice enough to move it into our home while I was at work, I came home last night at eleven and was surprised to see most of our ceiling lights being blocked by the giant. I spent the morning carefully wiring our electronics since after we placed it in the corner it will most likely stay that way until we move out. It took a long time but we slowly and carefully installed it, sadly the pictures don't really show how close the sides are to the wall... I weep for the day we have to move this thing. A big thanks to Jordan for making this awesome piece of furniture, makes me regret not taking shop in high school.

Babies Room!

We finally finished the babies room with one week left to go! Until this baby arrives we're scrambling to get everything done which can be any day now. We got the babies room situated and I hope you enjoy the pictures. Another thanks to Allison's mom Carolyn who does amazing things on the sewing machine. We'll have more pictures to put up soon of some other projects we're working on.

A wide shot of the room with the great window treatments

The room theme is elephants and giraffes which

you can see here on the blanket, the bumper

will be back on soon.

Ali made these cute frames with some of our

old hooks, also on the window is a lamp Ali worked

on to match the room

Ali and I found this play yard that goes great with

the colors we picked, it even has elephants too!

Picnic Table

Today we began work on an old picnic table Allison played on as a kid. We love workin on these projects and were excited at how much better it looks after some sanding and a fresh coat of paint. Lucky for us Allison and her sister Danielle worked hard on this after I left for work, I think it turned out well.

We are working on some last minute projects before the little one arrives. We're three weeks away from having our lives forever changed and we're very excited for it. Hopefully this table will hold up so he can one day enjoy playing outside on it.

Our future Musician!

A couple weeks ago as we were getting ready for bed I found myself once again singing to Ali's tummy trying to get our baby boy to stop kicking and moving around... which surprisingly works. Usually I sing nursery rhymes or the occasional tune from my childhood, I received a request to sing a primary song. As I busted out on I Am a Child of God our boy began rocking out which startled us because I have never seen such a visible response! We enjoy feeling those kicks on a daily basis but for a moment I felt a connection that gave me such happiness. Moments like this make me realize how excited I am, it's going to be difficult but we're up for the challenge! We're only a few weeks away from welcoming the newest cool kid on the block!
