Yesterday my parents visited to help assemble Zachary's room. Nonnie & Bop-bop worked hard & we very much appreciated everything they did for us! We certainly could not have accomplished everything as easily and with out arguments, lol. On with the room tour...

Step one. Assemble the crib. My sister has been saving her crib for us. Way back when my Father & brother in law assembled this crib for my parents first grand child Caroline & my Father said it was not nearly as difficult this time around.


Step two. Iron the curtains, Thanks Mom!

Step three. Hang the curtains.


Lots of hard work, a little perspiration & 3 hours later...

The fully assembled crib.

The dressed window & book shelf.

The Dresser in it's place. Hang picture.The dresser was mine as a child. And, the picture above it is of me and my Mother (taken by my Father). On top of the dresser are a few pictures of Matt & his Mother & a Miller Family portrait circa 1972

We are very pleased with the finished room! It is a happy, sunny room! Four years ago we purchased the bedding accessories and had the room painted. In fact, my Mother-in-law Nancy, helped us pick out the yellow that we ultimately chose for the walls. It is a reminder that even though she is no longer with us, her spirit remains in the little details and her love surrounds us.

There are a few more things to hang up on the walls & a few organizational bins to buy but for the most part it is finished. And, it will be complete once our son Zachary is finally home!
