Today our little princess turned 4 weeks.  What a great time we have had watching her continue to grow and become more active.  Here are a few pictures from her 4 week photoshoot.

Our First Shower!

Saturday, November 20, 2010

We had our first shower today for our little Grace and what a haul! Of course for these showers, it's a women only thing until it's time to load the car.  I enjoy ripping open presents too you know! However, today I was glad to stay back since my Wolfpack were playing against the university of north carolina at chapel hill and what a game that was! I have no fingernails left, but it was worth it!

When Carrie called saying it was time for pick up, I couldn't believe how much stuff we had for our little Gracie!  The amount of goodies that Gracie has is incredible.  She has stuff for when she's first born to several years old! We are so grateful for all of our friends and family who were able to come to today's shower!

Some of Gracie's loot!

Gracie's over night bag that is just soo cute! 

Tuffy some how climbed into a bag

One of my favorites! :-) Thanks grandma!

By the way, did I mention NC State WON today?

Gracie's Room Part 3

Tonight we finally put Gracie's crib together tonight! It was a lot easier then I expected to be honest, and of course Tuffy thought he could help out as well.  The hardest part was getting the crib from the car upstairs by myself.  Carrie was a big help in getting Tuffy out of the way so I wouldn't trip over him.  He has a tendency to get under our feet, especially on the steps, so her keeping a hold on him was huge!


Are you ready for some pictures? I know you are! We'll start the beginning....

Priming back on Oct. 10th

Starting to paint the room pink on Nov 16th

We have a pink room!

"Daddy let me help!"

"Daddy, Mommy is taking a picture, look up!"

"Daddy, why are you so tired? Let's play!"

Now, we need to get a mattress, so we can put her bed stuff on! We also have her dresser and changing table that is down stairs, tomorrow Carrie's dad is going to help me move them upstairs so we can start decorating and really get ready!

Gracie's Room Part 2

Tuesday, November 16, 2010

It's official, Gracie's room has been painted! It is done, the walls are pink, my socks are pink, my pocket  knife is pink, and I'm sure there are other things that are pink that weren't suppose to be.

We also bought Gracie's crib! Because of the wet weather, we left it in the car so not to mess it up.  Tomorrow we hope to get in and start setting up her room.  We have the changing table and dresser already, just have to get it all moved upstairs.

I know you're all still waiting on pictures, but you'll have to wait another night. It's bed time!

Gracie's Room

Monday, November 15, 2010

So a month and a half a go or so, Carrie and I bought a paint sample to start working on little Gracie's room.  We moved the bed, and every out of the room, put down plastic, taped it off and primed.  The next day, I painted the sample on it and we decided that we liked it.  At the beginning of this project my wife looked at me and said, "I don't want this to become a month long project" and of course I responded with, "Of course not, I'll have plenty of time to get it done"...well, the RailHawks kept winning in the playoffs which meant our weekends were shot, and night's turned into the next night, which turned into next week and you know how the story goes.  It didn't end up being a month long process, closer to a month and a half!

Her room now has it's first coat of paint on it! It's a pretty pink, Lucky One to be exact.  When I first started painting, it looked like I laid in the middle of the floor, and blew the biggest bubble I could and let it pop all over the walls.  Now that it has had some time to dry, it's much better!

During this, I have come to one conclusion, when we decid to move, I'm hiring someone to repaint! I am an awful painter.  I have paint everywhere, even after a shower I'm finding paint in places that you can only imagine.  Not only is it all over me, but it's a good thing I put down plastic!  So if you are interested in painting and wanting someone to help, save yourself the trouble and don't think of me, unless you want to have to redo a lot of it.

Sorry I don't have any pictures to post of the room.  Carrie took some, but the camera is upstairs, and I'm downstairs and I'm straight up exhausted! Therefore, I'll post pictures later.
