Almost ready for arrival...

With just 41 days to spare before our daughter is due to arrive, we are proud to say that we have completed her room!

Although T.J. quickly finished painting the room for his little girl, we were waiting on all of the furniture to arrive, the bedding to be washed, and then the polka dots to be hung. This past weekend, we are thrilled that we were able to complete those outstanding items.


We can already imagine Elliana enjoying her room as much as we have enjoyed preparing it for her. I can already imagine spending hours in that recliner gently rocking her and reading to her. Talking to her about the love that Mommy & Daddy have for her and how we have been looking forward to being her parents all of our lives.

As you can tell, there are many clothes that are already awaiting her. Each outfit is a symbol of the many people that already love her and are looking forward to meeting her. Because believe it or not, her mommy has bought only one or two of those outfits, and the rest have been gifts for our little girl! What an incredible blessing and abundance of love, and I know that she will apprecaite it as much as I do...even if it takes her a little while :)

4th Generation on the way


As I was reviewing pictures from my baby shower this past weekend, I saw this picture and was overcome with great joy. Joy as I realized that the picture depicted at least 3 generations of women in my family, and if we are including Elliana, who is technically in the picture, it represents 4 generations!

I am excited to bring our baby girl into the world in a little over a month, and to introduce her to the many people who already love her so very much. I know her Dad & I are eagerly awaiting her arrival, but it is safe to say that we are not the only ones.

Just 46 days until we are able to meet her! I can hardly wait!
