meeting great grandma

Last month we took the baby to Austin to meet her great grandmother. She is Hubby's mother's mother and turned 100 the day before Daughter was born. Multiple things about that sentence are awesome. Anyway, I was very excited that they got to meet.


This was the second time Grandma was in a 4-generation situation. She was the grandmother that time. I can't imagine being a great grandmother. I doubt it will happen since I got started with children fairly late and I don't think I have these crazy longevity genes that Hubby's family seem to have. I guess I'll have to settle for being a grandma one day. No pressure, dear Daughter.


She also got to meet one of her first cousins once removed. I think he was smitten. And she seemed pretty comfortable with him, too.

Looks like the trip was a ton of fun! Hubby and MIL totally look alike!!!

Also? You could totally be a great grandma if daughter had a baby at like 15 or 16 and her child had a baby at 15 or 16. You'd be a great grandma in 32 years, max. ;)

hey, would you like to see the nursery?

After a very productive week/weekend, the nursery is just about done. I think the only thing I want to do is whip up a simple padded headboard and Hubby needs to trim down the legs on a little footstool. That's it! Finally! So without further ado... This is what you see when you walk in the door. Too bad the baby won't be able to appreciate it right away. (And I'll apologize right off the bat for having some wonky-colored photographs in this post. I just don't have the energy to fix things. At least on my monitor, the above pic is roughly true-to-life.) Would you like to see that awesome rug a little better? Man, I love it. It was the one splurge for the room but it has such great colors, fun animals and designs, and is round. All my criteria were met. Love. Here's the corner with the crib. I wanted a clean, simple, modern, white crib. I hate to admit it but we ordered it from Wal-Mart. Hey, at least we didn't have to enter an actual store to get it. It was ine...
