It's Done!

The baby's room is finally done...well except for the blinds. Hopefully we can get those set up tonight. I've hung a few frames (yet to be filled by our little one) and a few pictures and shelves. We're pretty excited for this baby to come anytime!

Our crib, and change table/dresser. oohh...i better blow up that change mattress too eh?=)

This is the rocking chair that Brad's parents bought for us...pretty comfy!

Here are some cute old lookin' pictures I found at Home Hardware in Lloyd. They're so cute!

And a few little shelves for now. I would like to get more pictures and decor but I want to wait to see if we have a boy of girl first!

Here I am with only 9 days to go!!!

So now I want your guesses... boy or girl?

Preparations have finally begun!

Brad and I had a very succesfull trip to Edmonton. We finally purchased some major items for the babies room. It took us all day Monday to put it all together, but we pulled it off....no thanks to Hudson always being in the way. So now we have everything set up and put away, I just need to decorate the walls. I'm hoping to do that tomorrow, so you'll have a finished look soon! But here are a few pictures to let you know how the progress is going.

I didn't just sit around the whole time=) It's been hard for me to not get involved as much as I use to. I don't like having to rely on others to help me get things done around the house. I can still manage a lot but I have to wait for Brad to get home to help me move anything around to organize.

Brad did great putting together the crib, dresser and rocking chair. Thanks Brad! As you can see Hudson was always in the way!

The finished product. I'm very happy with it. Notice the colour of the walls. It's so nice to have a room a different colour than the rest of the entire house.

Here's the diaper bag and all the clothes laid out to be put in the bag for the hospital. Now I just need to pack my bag=)

There's still a lot more to do. It's a tiny babies room, so I won't be able to do all that I had imagined, but I don't think the baby will mind having a small room, for the first few years anyways.

Retirement Party!

My dad finally retired! My dad put in 33 years with radio broadcasting, and we got to throw him a party celebrating those 33 years of hard work! My mom worked really hard in planning the party and preparing all the food as well as sending out all the invitations. We had over 70 people in the church gymnasium, all there to celebrate with my dad. It was a great night with great food, and great fellowship.

We decorated the place in the old "CJIB" colours. Believe it or not the carpet in the CJIB building was yellow, red and black. Pretty 70's .

Dad was pretty embarrassed when we played his old audition tape from his early years. It was also fun to hear some bloopers, and make some good fun of dad!

We all dressed up in dad's old radio shirts! It was alot of fun. Notice Laura's shirt (DJ"s make better lovers)

A good friend Debbie made this chocolate card for my dad, it was great! Altogether it was a great night, one that was well deserved!
