Girly

When our sweet little girl is born in very few weeks, there will be almost exactly twelve years between her and her darling older sister. It has been a bit of a wait, as you can see, but the three boys in between have made the wait totally tolerable.

When we moved into our current rental we felt very grateful for it. Because of the shorter time we needed to be here, we thought for sure we would have to end up in an apartment. So even though this home is quite small for the number of people we have, it is our own four walls and it is quite comfortable and fabulous. We are really happy here and grateful to the people renting it out for a few months.

These good people have taken great care of their home and we get to reap the benefits. They also like vinyl lettering in several places in the house and we get to reap the benefits of that. (Nothing wrong with vinyl lettering friends, don't get me wrong, just amusing to live with the vinyl lettering of someone else on the walls.) And while there are several fun places with vinyl lettering on the walls, I think my favorite must be the large one in what will be the baby's room:

Ironic and hilarious yes? I thought so.

But nothing a darling quilt I purchased to hang on the wall won't fix.

There now. Much better.

And the good news is I don't have to think too much about the colors for the nursery.
Green, pink and brown it is. I'm not one of those moms who make the nursery look
amazing and darling. I figure I provide the baby and really, isn't that enough? But the least
I can do for our little one is to make her room look more girly than not. And Annie isn't
crying to be of help with it all. Besides, it is turning out pretty cute, if I do say so myself.
