Room pics

Okay here are some UPDATED pictures of the kids rooms.

***Important note*** they are by no means finished. They are just in the process and this is what is progressing. I am having so much fun with ideas for these rooms. I am in the process of painting canvases and letters for Miley Bird's room. She is going to be graced with cherry blossom branches and birds. I am going to be making all her bedding soon as well... stay tuned!




(the colors are "cream", "pink", "very dark brown")

My thought is to go around the border with cherry blossom branches as well. We will see what happens. I think it will be BEAUTIFUL and SO FUN! BUT time is another NON-Friend of mine SO again, we will see what ACTUALLY happens... it is my dream to do it though!

The boys room however is much slower b.c they are so different personality wise and to try and figure out how to split the "theme" is kind of tough on the brain! I will eventually figure it out. I personally think that their room is fine as long as we get the chair moulding up. In the picture you will see that the rail is rested up on the pillow and the crib so it is not in the proper placement. just picture it lower covering up the divide in color.



I am also in the market for the bedding (or material to make it) for Bear's "new" bed. We were looking for a twin bed but we already had the full size so why not use what you have. He is doing wonderful staying in his bed. He has gotten two spankings for getting out without being asked and since then he has stayed in. When he was in his crib/toddler bed he would get out countless times... no matter the spankings to come. Hmmmm wonder what the difference is. I am just glad that he is staying in his bed now.

*************************************************************************************

On the potty training front. He is doing WONDERFUL. He still has an accident here and there, but he knows it was an accident and always tells us and helps clean up his mess. It is alwasy urine; for some reason it is harder for him to understand he is about to go pee than with the other. HE ALWAYS KNOWS THAT ONE IS COMING :) "POTTY...POTTY... POTTY.. UCKIE... UCKIE... MOMMY, POTTY, HURRY, HURRY".

He is out of diapers 100% during the day. He wears Pull-ups at night and now at nap time. He always wakes up dry from nap BUT there are no extra sheets for this bed he's in SO no room for err really when it can be avoided! We are so proud of him.

Even Moe is starting to say "Podda" when he has to go. He is doing great with sitting on the big potty too now. No more potty chair or seats for him. I am so proud of both our boys!

WE HAVE A WINNER!!!

Marion Wachsmann... You are such a smart cookie!!! Way to think outside the box. If you contact me we can discuss your winnings!!! :)

It is an US picture of Bear when his BM was 3 mos pregnant with him. SO PRECIOUS.

His BM and I correspond through letters and I send her pictures of him to share the excitements of watching him grow. I know and understand that she has made some poor choices in life but nobody deserves to be outcast (unless of course there are severe issues that they NEED no contact for safety reasons... which we feel safe enough to share pictures with her and letters.) I really have a heart for her and pray for her often. I cannot even imagine being raised the way she was. I mean my parents were not perfect by any means but... oh how my heart breaks for her beginning to life! GET a hold of her heart GOD!

She said she has some more recent ones when she was further along as well as a polariod of him the day after he was born that she is going to send me. I cannot tell you how humbled I am before my Father who saw my desire for such a precious memory I would never have had with him had it not been for his BM.

This US picture came to me by mail a couple days ago. I had NO idea I would ever get such a gift! I have plenty of US pictures of our 3 kiddos but it is even more special to see the US picture and then see him standing here today. AMAZING! I have never known this feeling and it has truly blessed me. God saw straight to the details! AND for that I am THANKFUL!

It's a BOY!!!

WHAT!!! WHO, WHERE, WHEN!!!


I want to see if anyone can guess what is going on here! *EXCEPT YOU* wink

The winner may get something fun... if I can find that place I stored my spare time! I found my spare tire but it was not there... so don't look there.

So IF you want to play along... guess what is going on here (you know other than a couple of US pictures AND that it is a boy).

Happy Guessing!!!
