Girly Stuff!

For two and half years our home has been ruled by boy stuff. Trains seem to clutter every room, trucks and airplanes are in every toy basket and tackling is just a way of life. We only watched "choo choos" or CARs on TV. Then, back in August, the girliest little pink girl came into our lives. Abby loves everything tiny, pink, cute and girly. She has been tollerating this boy stuff for over three months now and today she finally got her own space!! We have slowly been converting the guest room into a girls room. This is going to be Abby's special room that she will share with our new baby when she arrives in Feb. I had already purchased some adorable Pottery Barn bedding for the baby's crib (great deal at a yard sale...don't worry I didn't spend $300 on it) and I found matching bedding for Abby on Ebay. Uncle Ryan and I bought Abby a new twin bed this weekend and her new bedding and curtains arrived today. She is thrilled!! The sweetest thing was when she said to me; "Auntie Judy it's so cute and we both got our favorite color. You love yellow and I love pink, so now we both can be happy."
I'll take some pictures of the completed room when we get it completed. Right now it is still, very much, a work in progress. I intend to have everything in place by Christmas!! I can't stand to wait until the last minute, especially with a baby coming.

I can't wait to see this precious room. Abby looks so sweet in the picture. It is so precious that she is looking forward to the baby as much as Christian is. See you on Friday. We are looking forward to taking Christian to Applewood Farm to see the reindeer this weekend.

It's so great of you guys to give Abby her own space in your house. She looks so excited to have a place of her own. Your little girl is going to be so spoiled! A big brother like Christian and cousins like Abby, Emma and Nathan will always keep her entertained.
