Alex's Room is Finally Ready!

Well after 2 weeks of on again, off again work, Alex's room is ready for her homecoming. It started with my "just" buying a new quilt for the bed we already had. After we got that on there, we (ok, I) just knew we had to paint the table to match. Then came the wall decals that we saw on clearance and the cubby system that was on sale and so on and so on! It has been fun and we have all helped with it! Layne shot a coat of paint on the dollhouse that my grandfather made. The cradle was mine as a kid and there is an antique doll of my mom's. Becca and Luke got involved as well and painted the paintings for her room! (Drake was out camping, but will add his later!) Becca also painted the flower on the round table. I think we may have a budding artist or two on our hands. It has been so much fun to watch them get excited! (And it has helped pass the time as well!)

I think it is so appropriate that there are items representing different generations of our family as Alex is about to be a part of that lineage! We can't wait to get her! Only 5 more days until we leave and we will meet her one week from tomorrow. Will it ever get here?
