Thanksgiving news

This last week we had a full weekend of celebrating Thanksgiving with Jarod and my family.

I didn't take any pictures...not doing so well with my new years resolution...I guess it's not the new year yet though.

It was great to have these two...Mark and Kristen back from Phoenix to celebrate with us, since they won't be back for Christmas.

They are also expecting baby no.1! We are all so stoked! (as my cousin Whitney says).

Congratulations you guys!

Love the lips

Happy Friday

I can hardly believe I am posting twice in one week!

I have been thinking it would be fun to do a post on decorating, since I love decorating. I love to look at pictures, talk about, think about, just pretty much anything with decorating.

So, you'd think I would take every opportunity to decorate. Well...no. The reason isn't so much that I am lazy, but that I am indecisive. I can't ever decide what color, or what fabric, etc. So, Oliver still has the same wall color, same bedding, same wall decal, even the same furniture arrangement...which is pretty hard to believe when you know my family.

WHen I decorate I get a lot of my ideas from inspiration. Now I never do exactly what I am inspired to do, because of budget, indecisiveness, or in the case of Will's room a rough ceiling...

THIS was my inspiration for Will's room, and I wanted to do the ceiling, but that meant I had to have smooth ceilings...which we don't have. So, instead I went for yellow and strips on the bedding and bed frames.

So, here are some pictures of some of my favorite nurseries...just because I think it's fun.

I love the giraffe on this wall.

I think this crib is so fun, but looks like it would cost a fortune.

Isn't this so sweet? I love this room I think the bed is hanging from the ceiling though and that would make me a bit nervous.

Love the ceiling in this one...as you can tell I love texture or paint on ceilings...too bad my whole house has rough ceilings.

Such a fun room for twins!

Love the wallpaper.

I LOVE this whole room, from the slant of the ceiling, to the light fixture, to the pillows on the floor!

Love the chairs and the chandelier.

Wish I had a big mirror like this one! SO many possibilities with something this fabulous!

Loving the colors.

Last but not least...if I had a little girl, I would have to do these wonderful pom poms on the ceiling!!! Sooo cute!

Have a happy Friday!

Life Lately

Well, it's been a while since I've posted. A few things have happened since the summer.

The best thing that happened was that we had our little Oliver Zenichi (after my Inoue Grandpa). He came 2 1/2 weeks early and still weighed 7lb. 11oz. I was so glad he came early! He has been the best little baby anyone could ask for.

Everyone has been asking how Will likes him. He really likes him, but is not overly excited either. He asks to hold him about once ever three days or so and when he does, he holds him for a few seconds and is done and off playing again. I think his favorite thing is having someone to sit with in the car, and Oliver's swing...which used to be Will's.

I also realized I hadn't posted a couple pictures from the end of the summer. We went to Chicago to see Thomas the Train...Will's favorite thing to talk about, other than Lightening McQueen. Here is a picture of me in horribly hot weather. I didn't realize how HUGE this place was, and wore a shoe with a bit of a heal...BAD idea when you are more than 7 months pregnant and hotter than hot and walking around a place that was more like Fair grounds than a museum...like it was advertised.

A couple days after we brought Oliver home from the hospital. The boys on our bed taking a nap. Such a fun new phase of life we are going in to.

This last week I took Will in to the Dr. to get an infected bum looked at. After a quick peek, the Dr. admitted him. I felt terrible, since I didn't think it was a big deal, and didn't take him until he was complaining of a sore bum. We ended up being there three days and he had to get minor surgery done. He was such a fabulous little patient and I was so glad. Thank you to all who prayed for us! I was going to take a picture of him in the hospital, because I figured he would think it was fun to see someday, but again, I am the bad Mother who rarely takes pictures. My new years resolution...I know a bit early...is to take more pictures.

So, there's a bit of an update. Maybe I should make a new years resolution to post more too.
