Nesting

In the last month and a half, we have done some work to get the nursery ready. Jeff learned some new thing about wood working, and Megan learned the importance of sanding furniture really well the first time so you don't have to two more times. We fixed up a crib and a changing table that were so graciously given to us by Megan's mom, Kim.


With the changing table, I took out the bottoms, sometimes with anger and a saw, and cut new ones so now it will last for a long time. Lots of TLC. And after some more sanding, painting and finishing, here is the final product of our labors:
 
Oh yeah, Kim and Jeff made a shelf also you can see in the background. We'll hang that up today and hang a quilt on it (and safety pin the quilt so we're safe). Thanks to Russ, Jeff's sister's husband, for painting the first coat while visiting for New Years.
So that's our nursery. Megan has organized clothes into the changing table now and we got all kinds of sweet gifts from her baby showers. Thanks to all who came and all the wonderful gifts. And thanks to Heidi and Jason for the best baby shower cake ever:

Wow! That's awesome Jeff and Megan. And I think Russ is awesome too. You should see the amazing light he installed in my mom's kitchen! You can SEE in there now!
Beautiful nursery, nice cake. I am sorry we missed it. We had previous commitments that couldn't be changed. :(
