Nursery

Your Great-Grandma Peggy and Great-Great Aunt Fay painted your bedroom for you. They are beasts when it comes to home repair. They helped us paint most of the house in fact and plan to come back to do some touch up on minor things. They've helped make the house our home.

I'm so excited, seeing your room. I'm ready for you to come and ready for all of your stuff! I can't wait to start putting things together, moving you in, getting your toys ready! Your dad and I are slowly getting the house together and ready for you. Although, I have a feeling we will still have clutter in the office/guest bedroom when you arrive.

I hope to get some things up on your wall tonight since that's all I really can do at this point. I still have to fix up your dresser that your Great-Grandma Milligan gave us. When she graduated from nursing school in the '40's, she and some friends moved into an apartment. One of those friend's boyfriends crafted this for them to use as extra storage in the kitchen. Your Great-Aunt Carolyn used it for some time as a regular dresser. I'm sure other family members have used it from time to time since then as well. I'm so excited to give you a family antique like this and still in decent shape - it does need some touch up, but it's not falling apart! It makes me happy to know I can pass on history to you in this way. Plus it means a lot to me because I know Grandma Milligan doesn't have much and to have an antique like this from her means a lot to me and I hope it will mean a lot to you also down the road.

I love you little Ethan Taylor. I can't wait to have you in my arms.
