The Nursery!

Ok, this is just the start - we are obviously still working on it....We clearly went with a "Star theme", but the walls are still a bit sparse.  A lot of you keep asking when I'm putting up the pictures so here the are!  

Getting Ready!!

With under five weeks to go until baby boy ferwerda arrives, we decided to buckle down and start getting the nursery ready.  Ben got the paint brush out and painted on Saturday, with great excitement might I add :)  Paige was very interested in what was going on and even helped Daddy paint for a second.  I think she may like her brother's room more than hers - We have spent many hours sitting on his star rug this week.  Perhaps this is a good way for her to get used to his arrival?  She is still too young to really grasp what is going on.  Sure, we talk about her brother but she doesn't really get it.  We've decided that in her 17 month old mind, she thinks my belly is called "brother" and hers is called "belly".  I'll get pictures up once everything in his nursery is arranged and ready - but for now, here's a picture of Ben and Paige from last weekend!  

Her Best Buddy

Paige absolutely loves our dog, Gus. She follows him around all day long, grasping his toy in one hand and calling out, "Ga"!!!  The funny thing is, we're not exactly sure Gus feels the same way about her.  He definitely tolerates her, but steers clear of her most of the time.  I sort of feel bad for him because he could have the best playmate in the world if he'd just realize it!  Regardless, they both love to be outside so we took advantage of this beautiful fall day.
