Willows in the Springtime

Fit for a Girl

Shortly after learning ~A~ was a girl at our 20 week ultrasound, my mind started whirling with ideas for a feminine room. After 2 boys, I knew the nursery was going to be transformed into a little girly haven.


This print hanging on her wall, hung in mine and my sister's room when we were growing up. I always loved it when I was little and was thrilled when Mom gave it to me a few years ago. It was so much fun to pull it out of storage, update the frame and hang in on my daughter's wall. The dresser that holds ~A's~ frilly socks and tights and skirts, 'D' bought from a neighbor who was moving. 'D' loved the dresser right away... it took some convincing to get me on board with it. I told him if we ever had a girl someday, it would probably work in her room. After some cleaning and new knobs I really love it. The drawers may not work the smoothest, but it's such a feminine piece of furniture.

My dad made this cedar chest for my mom when they were in highschool. It is now stuffed full with my wedding dress.

~A's~ dedication dress my mom made for her from fabric from Mom's own wedding dress.

A little country touch for this country raised girly.

I ♥ Faces "Reflection"

I actually just posted this photo last week when W lost his first tooth, but knew I had to use it for this category! He just loves his new hole and has probably looked in the mirror a hundred times since that night.

Bubbles

~A~ is a typical 1 year old... completely fascinated by bubbles and especially other people making bubbles. She has such a great time popping them!

Sweet Feet

After 2 sons, I'm loving the fact that I can paint A's toenails. She will have pretty toes all summer long! :)

I found this nail polish pen at WalMart the other day and it worked so well at painting her tiny toenails. It took about 30 seconds and I was done.... I'm not sure if I want to go get more colors or stick with this bright pink... we may have to get a red for the very few non-pink clothes she has.

I realize there are a lot of pictures of her toes, but I'm on cloud 9 with all of this girl stuff!

New blog

Most things won't change with this new blog.. I'll still post LOTS of pictures and my writing will still be kept to a minimum.... So hopefully this blog will pick up right where the other one left off....
