Getting ready to welcome Bennett!

So with Bennett's arrival in just a few short days, I think we are ready! Here are just a few shots of the nursery and baby items that have found a spot in our home over the past few weeks! We are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends that have taken care of all of Bennett's needs and my wants.


I am so in love with his "not so baby boy" nursery~ The goal was to do something that can grow with him for a few years....I feel like we achieved it. Thanks to June for her help and talent with the painting and Scott for his handy work putting the molding up and all the furniture together.

The hutch looks a bit funny for now because the shelves are up so far so that I can get to the little man to change him. I anticipate that it will be full of books before too long.

He shall not be naked... Now let's just hope he doesn't come out too big to wear the adorable newborn things!

The child has as many shoes as I do!

The swing...buddy, this thing really moves. According to my mother I hated my swing as an infant, so let's hope he likes it better than I did.

The pack and play with newborn sleeper and changing table. This is in our room and will be where he spends his first few weeks at home!

The crib mid- construction...

The crown molding waiting to be painted. This is Scott's project and the snow has put quite a damper on it. It WILL be completed by Tuesday...

The crib with the bedding...

The wall hangings... not on the wall yet, in the next couple of days, I hope... I will post more as soon as it gets put together in the next couple of days.

New post coming soon, promise!

Elon Homecoming and Suprise Shower!

The weekend of Oct. 24 was Homecoming at ELON! Can you believe it has been 5 years?? Many of my college friends were able to make the trek to Elon and I am so glad! It was a rainy game day but it didn't dampen the mood!

At the game... E-L-O-N, Elon Elon Elon!

As the weekend wrapped up Rory, Jill, Vycki, and I made plans to meet up at Mimi's cafe for what I thought was just breakfast. Little did I know, my girls had been scheming for weeks, planning a surprise shower for me! Since I thought I was just meeting some of my closest friends for breakfast I pulled my hair back and threw on some clothes. When I got there... boy was I surprised! There sat Robin, Jen, Jill, Katie (plus Anthony and Christopher), Rory (plus Dagny), Jill, Vycki, Megan, and Tanya at an adorable table set with baby friendly mimosa's and my sweet baby boys' name. We enjoyed a delicious meal and tore into some gifts for the new arrival! It was a perfect ending to a fabulous weekend! I am truly blessed to have such amazing friends. I love you girls!
