Well…it’s done!
Last weekend we finished the baby’s room. The design comes straight from the Pottery Barn Kids site’s “Circus Friends” room. Judging from the kid’s reactions (Annalise: “the baby’s room is pretty, Daddy!”) and occassional request to “go play in the baby’s room,” I’d say it was a hit with them.
The ceiling fan was on clearance for $50 at HD!
The pictures are from PBK, the animals from IKEA
Draperies from IKEA; Custom dresser by me
The dresser is my own design. I’ve posted details of it’s design and construction on my woodworking blog. You can also read a bit more on the room here.
I’m hoping to start on the crib the week my parents arrive to meet our new son…about one month to go now!

Last weekend we visited Stork Snapshots just as we had with Annalise and Sean. Unlike both of his older siblings, he cooperated right away and we were able to get some amazing shots.
If you’re out in the Chicagoland area and expecting, we highly recommend you pay these folks a visit…

A couple days ago I learned that a close personal friend of mine was hospitalized with what was described to me as a “mild” heart attack. He’s going in for triple-bypass surgery next week. I guess we should be thankful that he received this “warning” in time and that something can be done.
Get well soon, Mike…you’re in our thoughts!

It’s been rather busy around the house, and I’ve been trying to find the time to create this new, consolidated blog. Consequently, we’ve yet to post an entry to say that — we’re expecting our third! The due date is November 10th. A couple weeks ago, after returning from Las Vegas, we went in for our “20 week” ultrasound. Grandma and Aunt Bethie were there when we learned … it’s a boy and here he is:

We’ve decided that maintaining separate blogs for each child was simply not going to scale. So now we’re consolidating. All of the previous post from the original sites have been imported. We hope you like our new home!
