A Week in Pictures

Here are a few snapshots of what's gone on here during the past week:

Jacob has turned into quite the handyman with lots of assembly projects. Last week he put together the high chair, a porch swing, and a couple of new stools we bought at Pier One. Unfortunately the hanging of the swing had a few dilemmas that my dad is going to help with, but hopefully we'll be swinging on our front porch in no time!

The finished product.

I spent a few afternoons writing thank you notes for the Shively's shower. We had another one at church this past Sunday, so I'll start on those notes today.

Baby Shively's room is one step closer to completion! The art I ordered from etsy came in, we framed it, and hung it yesterday afternoon. Now all we're waiting for is the glider to come in, we need to get a crib mattress, and of course bring home a baby to enjoy it!

I'm not sure how we ended up with owls everywhere, but I think they they turned out really well! The "owl rock band" is over the crib. One owl is playing the guitar, one the drums, and the other is singing into a microphone. My mom made the white blanket on the left, and lady at church made the quilt on the right. They are both beautiful, you have to see them in person!

The "owlphabet". Each letter of the alphabet has a different owl.

We also had Father's Day at our house with my parents, sister, and her boyfriend Travis on Friday. My parents were going to be gone on Father's Day so we celebrated a little early. We grilled shish kabobs, potatoes, and vegetables on the grill, had Caesar salad, and strawberry pie for dessert. It was yummy!
