My Ebenezer

I’ve told you already how precious my husband is. One of the many things I love about him is that I know he is going to be an amazing dad. When we talk about how close we are to bringing our child(ren) home, you should see the twinkle he gets in his eyes. His face lights up a little bit and I know he’s very excited.

He has worked so hard to refinish the bed that will go in the nursery. It was the bed he slept in as a child and it means a great deal to him to have his own son or daughter use it. We’ve put the bedspread on it that I had on my bed when I was little (Holly Hobby) and we were going to use is just until we got one that matches better, but I think we’ll leave it just the way it is. There is something very endearing about having our children use things we had when we were small.

I want to pass these things on to my children. I want to have lots of traditions that our kids will always remember. More importantly than the traditions and “things” of life, I want to teach our children to honor God and to trust Him in all things. That is what I treasure most from my mom – she gave me a foundation of faith to build my life on.

Daddy-O has such a deep love for family and tradition, I know he will be great at passing these things along. He will also be a wonderful example to our children of a Godly man. He’ll be there for the soccer games and recitals and anything else that comes along. I know he won’t let life get in the way of living. He’ll be there for the important things and for the day to day things.

I think I’ve totally screwed up what I’m trying to say here. Daddy-O is going to be a great dad. That’s really all I wanted to say!

Here are the latest pictures of the playroom. I’m getting VERY frusturated because the orange paint is not covering the blue paint and we’re going to have to do several more coats around the doorways. Killing me!

And here is the latest of the nursery:
