Ready For Lily







All weekend long Doug and I dedicated ourselves in getting the nursery prepared for Lily's arrival. Since Grant moved into a big boy bed the nursery has been used as a storage room for the past 2 years. There was a lot of work to be done---dusting, organizing, shampooing carpets and setting up the crib. This room is very, very special to me!! When Doug and I found out that we were expecting Grant back in October 2001, he immediately went to work creating the perfect Noah's Arc theme room. My husband sat down and sketched each animal on paper and then free handed drew and painted each animal walking into the arc. To this day every time I walk into the nursery it takes my breath away--Doug's love for his children and talent is proudly displayed in this room.

Yes, you can definatley see the love he poured into that room, it is really beautiful. Can you believe in just a few weeks you will open that door and see your daughter laying in that crib? Who would have thought, when he painted those walls so long ago, that one day they would surround not just your son, but your China Blessing!
