My Little Crafter

I normally stamp and craft during Aubrey's naptime, but on Friday she really didn't want to take a morning nap. We headed down to the craft room anyway! Aubrey sat in her little pink chair and watched me stamp for an hour. She nodded off a couple of times, but for the most part we sang songs and stamped. I was so excited!! You just wait, she'll be crafting with mommy before you know it!

The Nursery

Some of our friends and family have asked for pictures of the

nursery, so here you go!

This is our view from the hallway. (The rest of our house is painted in various shades of Taupe, so when the sun is shining there is sort of a pink glow that comes from her room!)

When I found out I was pregnant, I poured over magazines and catalogs looking for ideas for the nursery. I fell in love with the look of a bead board wainscot and knew that I definitely wanted that in the room. My mom and I found the bedding and bath set at Pottery Barn Kids. Some of the pieces were on clearance, so we snatched them up that day! Corey and I chose a bright shade of pink that matches the bedding. The glider and the ottoman were gifts from the company I used to work for - Corey still works there. The crib is convertible, so as Aubrey grows it will convert to a toddler bed and then into a double bed. It was a bit of an investment, but this will be her furniture for many, many years. (We still have a nightstand to pick up - it will sit next to the glider as a side table.)

Aubrey has her own bathroom off her room. Its painted a beautiful shade of celery green that also coordinates with the bedding and bath set. We received the wooden letters as a shower gift from a dear friend. I love the way the letters look, but I will say that Corey got quite frustrated hanging them. He ended up having to repaint that part of the wall!! But I think the final product was definitely worth it!

This is a close up of my FAVORITE part of the nursery. The miracle of life is undoubtedly a gift from God. Corey and I went through a lot trying to start our family and sometimes it felt it might never happen for us. After everything we went through to have a baby and now that our precious Aubrey is here, we know now more than ever what a miracle she is! God has blessed us with a happy, healthy baby girl!! How amazing is He?!?

War Eagle!

Last weekend Uncle JH and Aunt Paige had the whole family over to their house for the Auburn game. Corey spent the afternoon at the hunting camp, so Aubrey and I headed over there for a little tailgating. It was a packed house with Paige's parents, her grandmother, her aunt, her brother and his kids, my parents, Aubrey, and me. We had a great time visiting with everyone and enjoying all of the great food that Paige, her mom and my mom fixed for the afternoon!

We tried to get dressed up in out game day gear, but unfortunately its all still a little big right now. (A few more pounds and it will fit like a glove!) So Aubrey wore a little party dress. But don't you worry - she still sported her Auburn socks. Here is Aubrey and her Nana chillin' out during the game. WAR EAGLE!!
