Julia's Room!!! (finally)

Although the Californian fires are devastating, they are leaving us some lovely sunsets with their smoke that has been hanging out over Pike's Peak. I went to go for a walk the other night and was rewarded with that sunset.

We are quite excited because it's Labor Day weekend coming up and we're going on a little trip to Estes Park! We're only staying one night, but it's so nice to get away. We're going to visit the Rocky Mountain National Park, shop the shops, dine at the fine restaurants, swim in the heated swimming pool and jump on the hotel beds. :)

Here's Julia reading to Figaro. This is a daily occurrence.
And here is Julia trying to bother Elisabeth. Also a daily occurrence.




Last weekend, I got to escape the land of Stay At Home Mom, and go out with my mom's group. We took a cup cake decorating class. It wasn't anything I hadn't already learned in the Kitchen of Jana, but it was fun nonetheless. My favorites were the sunflower cupcakes. They were well received and quickly eaten when I brought them home.


Here's a random picture of the cats. They decided to nap on my gym bag as soon as I got home.


And here's Julia in her belly shirt. Mind you, it was not supposed to be a belly shirt, but when you've got it, flaunt it!!!


Last weekend we finally got around to painting Julia's room. Stinking thing needed two coats though, so instead of a one day project, it turned into two. I was quite grumpy about this. But, it's done!!!!!
Here's what you see when you walk in.
I bought the glider off of Craig's List for $35! I am so proud of that bargain! We still haven't found a dresser, so we've converted her changing table into one for the time being by using baskets. Most of the pictures are from Elisabeth's nursery. They work perfectly with the room!!
The growth chart Aunt Kyle bought her!
The growth chart came with stickers for the wall. Julia watched me put them up and LOVED them. Maybe she'll quietly stare at them in the mornings and let us sleep longer...

She loves the room. She likes to point to the things on the wall and actually can play in there now. Roosevelt likes it too, of course (as you can see).
