Visit to Texas and Practice Makes Perfect

We spent last weekend in Texas visiting with and being showered by dear friends and family. It was great to see everyone, and we're much better prepared for Luella's arrival!

We also got the stroller a few weeks ago from Poppa and Honey Gayle (Fincher grandparents), and the dogs have been learning how to jog with the giant orange machine. Allen's gotten some pretty funny looks when folks realize that he's jogging sans baby.

Sneak Peek

I've had a few questions about what Luella's nursery will look like. Here's the fabric combo that we're using for all things cottony and soft:

















I'll let you in on a silly secret - a few friends of mine have emphasized the importance of having getting-ready-for-bed routines, and I'm already excited about saying goodnight to each of the jungle animals as we put her to bed. Goodnight, Mrs. Hippo! Goodnight, Giraffe! Goodnight, Mr. Lion! Goodnight, Crocodile! ... and so on and so forth. Totally silly, I know.

Last note - for those of you who are curious, it's all Alexander Henry fabric, I got it from Ladybutton Fabrics, and their customer service is amazing!

Coming Soon...

...around September 5th, to be exact. Look out, world!
