Vivian's nursery & Blogiversary


We finally finished Vivi's nursery yesterday. My mom did an amazing job sewing up the valance, bumper, crib skirt and pillow. (She embroidered Vivian's birth stats on the pillow which is so special!) We were lucky enough to have found material for the bedding which had some of the aqua color we had used on the walls for Owen's nursery, so we didn't have to repaint. We added a few things ~ the plaque above the closet, the rectangle mirror and the shelf were all given to us and I liked how they went in the room. I painted the letters and Ben helped me hang them, and we kept the picture collage (with Ben's baby pictures on the left and mine on the right) and used Vivi's professional picture for the center in a frame that had a spot below the picture for her hospital bracelet. We're happy with how it turned out.

Also, today is our Blogiversary! It's been three years since we started blogging about our adventures in parenthood and I'm so glad we decided to do it. It's incredible to look back over the years and see how much Owen has grown and developed. It's our online baby book since we haven't been diligent at writing things down in an actual paper baby book. Plus, I love that we can keep photos and videos all in one place and our friends and family can check them out whenever they want. Here's to another year of blogging the story of our kids!
