Baby's room

With only a couple of days to go, last night I worked on some final touches on the baby's room. I was having a really hard time finding things to decorate the room with, but I found some vinyl circles on Etsy.com that matched the bedding pretty well. So on Sunday night I spend about four hours hanging up 108 vinyl circles. I don't know what in the world I was thinking, but I do think that it turned out pretty well. I am still struggling to find things to hang on the wall, but for now I am done with the room. I was hoping that all my hard work would maybe start some labor, however, my plan failed. I guess I will just wait until Thursday.

Meeting Marley





Brayden has been bothering me for the past couple of weeks about taking him to the zoo, so I was very excited when my friend Ashley called and said that her boyfriend's dad was taking care of a kangaroo last weekend and asked if we wanted to come and see her. I jumped on this opportunity. So Saturday afternoon we went over to see the baby kangaroo, Marley. She was so cute. She let us feed her leaves and we also fed her a bottle. She is only about four months old and Brayden is taller than she is. This kangaroo is pretty cool because she stays at an Alzheimer's facility during the week. She was on the news a couple of weeks ago. So Brayden has met his first television personality. Brayden was so excited to go and see the kangaroo, however, Brayden is in this horrible stage where he is very shy and everything scares him. He was more interested in the dog than the kangaroo, until we got in the car and then he could not stop talking about going to see the kangaroo. We also saw sheep and a billy-goat.
