The Craziness Has Begun!

I FINALLY GET TO BUY PINK!!!

But...its not as easy as I thought...

I still cry when I walk through the baby girl ailes...

Still can't believe I am allowed to look - to touch - to buy...

But as excited as I am...

Buying pink - little frills - flowers - ribbons...

Just does not come naturally to me...

But...

With practice...

I am getting better...






Nursery Fit For a Princess...Part 1

After having four boys...Getting to prepare a nursery for a little girl...Is so exciting...

From the moment I found out we are expecting a little girl...I have been planning...

Colors - fabrics - ribbons and bows - letters - blocks - curtains - furniture - bedding....

Not even for my wedding - did so much planning - researching - preperation - go into such a decor...

But it has all been in my head...Afraid to put it on paper...Afraid to buy or order anything...

Overwhelmed by that fear of loosing...Once again...



But it is time...Time to  move forward...To believe...To trust...

And so slowly...The ideas - the colors - are making their way into the empty nursery...

The white crib and dresser now fill the room...

The paint is bought - a beautiful pink shade - Fading Rose...

The fabric chosen - a delicate pink and taupe damask fabric along with a topeka fabric in bella pink for the curtains...

The wood letters for her name to hang above her dresser - ready to be decorated...

The ribbons - the bows -  the flowers - the butterfly mobile...Delicate hints of a little girl...All ready to be hung...



I am excited...

I stand at the doorway...Looking at the flowers - the pink fabric - the ribbons...

And with tears in my eyes...I smile...

My little princess will soon be home...

Its hard to believe...

In just seven short weeks...

I will be able to look into your eyes...

To feel you squeeze my finger....

To hold you in my arms...


Its hard to believe...

In just seven short weeks...

My dreams will have all come true...

My family will be complete....

My angels...

Will have found their way home...

Some Things...You Just Can't Resist...


Jacob's 1st Day Of School

It's with tears in my eyes...

That I watched Jake wave goodbye...

As he headed off with his brothers...

So proud...

So excited...

Finally its his turn...

Finally he gets to step onto the big school bus...

Mommy is going to miss you p'tit loup...
