Nursery is Finished!

We finished Quinley's nursery last night. It has turned out great! Now everything is ready for her.  But I've told her she still isn't allowed to come until March 18th or later. :-)  It's still weird to think she could be here pretty much anytime between now and the next 5 weeks at most.

Here is a link to pictures of her nursery: Quinley's Nursery

Quinley Adeline

Incase you haven't heard...we're having a baby girl!! Quinley Adeline is due on March 27th, 2011.  We can't wait!!!!!  We have had 3 beautiful baby showers and have her room just about complete.  I will make my last big shopping trip this weekend with our Target registry completion coupon and the gift cards we received.  I will do 2 last loads of her laundry (her closet is PACKED!) and arrange everything in her room.  Then all that is left is to hang photos and decorations in her nursery.

Here she is!

Griswold Theodore

I found this shirt at Target on clearance for $2 I couldn't resist. I made him wear it yesterday. We also decided on a middle name for him. Mostly inspired by the fact that he tends to look like a teddy bear sometimes. Plus...if he does something wrong, we can say, "GRISWOLD THEODORE!!!!," haha We love our buddy.

my special birthday cake

Here is my birthday cake! Isn't it lovely? Ever since I was little my birthday cake would have a theme each year of one of the biggest things I liked or did that year. My Mom and Zach collaborated and got this cake made for me with a picture of our house on it. The lady who made our wedding cake made this one and it is yummy!

Griswold Griffin

Here is our new family member! Griswold Griffin!  We adopted him from our local humane society. He is an american cocker spaniel/poodle.  He is about 4 years old.  After we got him Zach planned an afternoon in the park with a picnic.  We had a really great time. Griswold loves to play and run around.  We just got him home about an hour ago and he is being such a good boy. We are so excited to have him.

Our House

We're buying a house!!!! We found it back in December and put an offer in January but we couldn't get it for the price we wanted so we just decided to wait since we weren't in a hurry.  Five months later we saw it was still for sale and decided to give it another try. This time they were willing to negotiate more! YAY for us! It's an older home in an older established neighborhood. The advantage of that is we have a larger yard, big mature trees and lots of nice houses around us.  We are going to update the house with new paint, rugs, refinish the hardwoods, redo the master bath, etc.  Gotta love having such an amazingly handy Dad who will help us do the work. It's a 3 bedroom, 2 bath with a living room, dining room, 2 fireplaces and a sunroom. We're really excited about it.  We are closing on it July 23rd or around there.  I'll post more pics when we start to fix it up.

a night out

On Thursday night Zach and I went downtown to Visulite for a show.  We saw John Mark McMillan and Public Radio.  The show was really great. We got to hang out with some of our friends as well.  It's awesome always having your best friend to go out with!
