Kyle’s blanket looks beautiful with the boys laying on it decades after Daddy used it as a wee babe himself.

More Than a Bedroom
Before Baby Brother moves in and turns life as we know it upside down, I wanted to take some pictures of Eleanor's room and remember the life lived there.
Dearest Eleanor,
This is where Daddy excitedly put your crib together and decorated your walls with cherry blossom stickers,
Where he finished and repainted your rocker, changing table, dresser, and night stand,
Where you received your first at-home sponge bath squirming and crying at the top of your lungs,
Where Daddy and I changed your clothes and messy diapers millions of times at all hours of the night and day,
Where I gazed lovingly into your eyes as I nursed you on the Boppy,
Where we read book after book after book after book while rocking away,
Where we shared goodnight prayers and hugs and kisses,
Where you slept peacefully listening to lullabies as Daddy and I watched you on the monitor screen,
Where I got the BEST morning greetings and smiles from you,
Where you played blocks and puzzles and dress up and laid out blankets and burp cloths on your floor so that every baby doll and stuffed animal had a place to nap,
Where you grew up from newborn sleepers to big girl panties and crib bumpers to a toddler bed, and
Where one day, not too terribly long from now, you'll share your space with a new best friend, your very own baby brother.
We've made such special memories here together, and more are to come.
Love you,
Mommy
