Celebrate, Celebrate, We Gonna Celebrate!

IT'S FINISHED! For the last two weekends Kristen and her mother have worked diligently to complete the baby bedding that our new bundle of joy will one day, as Aunt Mary says, use as her personal toilet tissue. I asked Aunt Mary which of her daughters would have done such a thing because she made the statement as if she hasd personal first hand experience. Of course, she wasn't talking, but I have my suspicions...cough cough Angie...just kidding Angie :)...As I have said in previous posts, the bedding is amazing! My wonderful wife and mother-in-law, I mean "The Grandmother", have done a magnificent job putting it together.

Talking with them tonight, it sounds as if its a once in a lifetime project. They asked me earlier this evening to come and witness what they had completed and give them a supporting congratulations. I did what I could, but as most of you know, I am not the best at making a scene. So, those of you that see the pictures on this blog, please give Kristen or her mother a pat on the back for a job well done next time you see them. I bet they would even like phone calls. I guess thats how I will make a big deal about it...I will get others involved...

But seriously, my daughter has priceless bedding to go along with the uber-expensive furniture. By the way, if anyone wants a handmade set for their newborn, Kristen and Kathy have said they will complete another for the bargain basement price of $5K. In fact, if any of you would like a set like it and are willing to pay $5K, I will sell you the original! Don't be mad at me Kristen, I'm just kidding...or am I...

What have I been doing you might be asking? Well, I took the time this weekend to construct shelving in the little ones closet. See I did help. Kristen at least tries to make me feel like I contributed to the cause by telling me how great it looks every time she goes into the nursery. Thanks Baby!

Its my contribution to the preparation. I also added a zebra to the African safari that Emmy now has. SO THERE!

By the way, in our weekend of hyper-productiveness (Kristen coined that term), we made time to fill out a registry at Babies R Us. So...if any of you are feeling giving...

More updates as they happen.

It looks awesome!!! I can't wait to see Miss Emmy Rose in her pretty bed. That is all that's missing. =)
