Slackers (blogging, at least)

Yup… headline says it all… we’ve been slacking at updating the blog, but fear not. We will get back to posting a regular mix of photos and interesting stories soon. Just because we have been slacking in updating the blog doesn’t mean we’ve been slacking otherwise. Quite the contrary, you see. We’ve been busily working on the nursery, taking baby prep classes, and generally just trying to enjoy some us time (read renting and watching movies). Yes it’s been oppressively hot here in Austin, but we have a nice air conditioned house to work in and have been working on the nursery daily. To prove it here are some photos of the prep, painting, and crib assembly. Enjoy these for now.

This room used to be Melanie’s office and was painted lavender. Before painting the walls cream I needed to primer the wall. As you can see the blue went on much nicer (no priming necessary).

The blue looks great!

Assembling the crib.

Still assembling. We bought the crib from a friend of a friend and there were a few brackets that were installed upside down and needed to be corrected.

All done… and you get to see the contrast between the blue and cream walls.

And of course our fur baby Bella had to get in a shot (actually she was in many, but I only chose this one for the blog). I think she’s already looking forward to looking over the little one.
