Pictures!

Wow!  Two posts in one day.  This is definitely a record for me.  I just couldn't wait to share pictures.



Here's just a few presents that we recieved from our second shower.  Scott is modeling our beautiful new water sprinkler from a co-worker.  We also got an adorable playhouse for our backyard and a wagon!



Here's pictures of their adorable room.  It's quite bright in the day and dark at night.  It was difficult to decorate a room for both a girl and boy.  We picked out material, and I sewed their duvet covers, pillowcases, and curtains.  It was quite fun and turned out well.  Scott and I painted, and he did the molding around the top.  We're quite pleased.  Thanks IKEA for the furniture!  Although, Scott made the night stands to match!  Quite crafty!


Here is the beginning of our stash to bring with us to Poland.  There's water toys for the pool.  Plenty of supposedly "Quiet toys", but the soccer ball is not coming.  If you can think of any suggestions to bring, I would love them!  I'm trying to be prepared but not to overpack.  We still haven't heard from Poland yet.  We're hoping it's soon!  We appreciate all the happy thoughts and prayers.  It's only by accomplished by a miracle!  Thank you!

    I LOVE what you did to the room!!! Beautiful. We made our room quite gender free for our two boys and a girl by painting intersecting squares of all the primary colours on two walls. Then on another wall we colored the bottom half in red, and left the top half in white, so they can see the "Polish Flag" every day.

    Everything looks great! And I would consider taking the ball- just deflate it and take a hand pump with you. Soccer is huge overseas and it would be a great thing for them both to run around and play with. Just a thought. Love the colors and furniture! :)

    Hey, the room matches your blog! LOL I think it looks fantastic, you did such a great job. As far as the ball goes, buy a beach ball and blow it up there OR copy and past this to see what I'm talking about.

    This is the O Ball. It will squish flat in your suitcase (with pressure). It's great fun, it won't pop, it doesn't hurt when it hits you and it comes in all kinds of shapes and sizes. Dominik still loves playing with his.

    I also LOVE, LOVE their room! You guys are so creative! I would love to see a close up on the duvets you made. I am already picturing your kids in swim suits running around the lawn with that red daisy sprinkler!

    Great room. A beach ball would be a good idea as is the O Ball Julie mentioned. On our first trip plastic character figures were a big hit with our kids who are 6 and almost 5. Our little girl especially loved Winnie the Pooh and My Little Pony figures.
