A Few Pics Of The Almost Finished Nursery

Thank you everyone for your gifts.

As you see it makes this room actually look like a nursery.

The Lone Yam

Just last Sunday, Kimmy made harvest rolls to go with the Pot Roast I had started early that day. She hit up Lion King (Ben often slips up and calls Food Lion, Lion King) Kim got the few item's she needed for the harvest rolls, got home and open the can of yams to find this..

and only this!

The Crib

Cash would be completely crib-less if it weren't for my Mom, who supplied the crib and my Mother In Law who mailed us the mattress and sheets. Thank you both so much. Ben, Cash and I are very lucky to have you guys in our lives. We all love you very much.

Built With His Own Hands

While checking out websites for things to fill our empty nursery, I found a cubby set from Pottery Barn that I loved. Unfortunately Pottery Barn isn't exactly in our budget...(Who's is it in really?)

Ben took a look at it online with me and was pretty sure he could build it. We set out on a journey to Lowe's, one table saw, a dozen other tools and some wood later he was ready to start. Still spending way less than we would have on the piece of furniture online.

He spent a couple weekends picking away at the project and with every step finished I was even more impressed with the work this guy could do. One cubby is complete. I look at it every day. Ben did an amazing job on it and I couldn't be more proud to have it in the nursery. I know some day Cash will be as proud of this and his dad, as I am on a daily basis.

Myrtle Beach

After a long week of Ben being out in the field, day and night. (We're talking over hundred degree weather here, sunshine or not. With humidity at 98% and bugs crawling on him while he got in those few hours of sleep a night.) We decided to spend the weekend a little more comfortably. Early Saturday morning we drove about 3 hours to Myrtle Beach, spent the day on the beach then the evening eating as much seafood as possible with friends. The following day was a bit rainy. We hit up the outlets and did some shopping before the drive back to Fayetteville.
