1 Shower Down & A *Little* More Nursery Progress

The family shower for baby Kelvin was down in Auburn a few weekends ago.  Mom did a great job of creating a beautiful event!

One of Mom's friends from the yacht club made these great giant balloon palm trees!

The lunch was beautiful!

Like my floppy hat?

It was a gorgeous day to eat out on the patio!

A couple of Kel's cousins were there!
Lacey (left) and Autumn (right)... we don't seem to have captured a pic of Lacey's big bro Preston.

Check out our multi-tasking Gampa/paparazi!

Kel got *tons* of adorable monkey outfits, money toys, monkey decor, monkey bedding.... even monkey washclothes!  wow!  Almost toooo many pics to post here.  Gigi H even wrote him a poem!  What a lucky boy! 

Thanks for all the fun ladies!

After the party, we went home and finished up the palm trees

Yay palm trees all done!  (should be able to get better pics once we get that light fixture put back together)



Mark's been working on installing the blinds... which is time consuming to shorten them to fit the window... lots of knot-tying.  He's also making a hutch to go on that desk to make it into a changing table!  Yay!

Well, that's all we've got for now.  Spending the Memorial Day weekend w/Mom & Dad on the boat.  Sooo much left to do and time seems to be getting short. :-P

Love you all!

Nursery in progress!

We're sneaking up on the third trimester and definitely showing now!


 There's a baby in there!
He's an active little guy, too!

 Mom came up a few weeks ago while Mark was in Japan and we got the base coat of green paint on the nursery walls. :-) 

 Yup, that's green!  You should see it in sunshine!


 When Mark got home, we put up the first monkey!

Cutest. Light switch. Ever.


Heidi used a projector to trace palm trees onto two of the walls...




 And the painting of the palm trees began this week!

Heidi started on the "short" tree...




And Mark tackled the TAALLL ones.

There's still some work to be done on them, but they're coming along beautifully. :-)  Next on the agenda is the changing table construction.  Yay!!!
