Lucas thanks you!

Thanks to gift cards and checks, we were able to furnish our nursery! So this is a big 'thank you' to Grandma Louise & Grandpa Stan Hodge, Great-Grandma Ida Croce, Brothers-in-law Matt & Kevin, Kevin's girlfriend Mary, and my neighbors Sharon, Jeff & Dillon Leviner.

Here is the changing table with all the accessories I received at my shower:
Cute huh?
The drawers next to it were a gift from Lina Dieirling- thanks for the much needed storage!

Here is the cradle my sister Sarah bought us, with some more gifts from my shower- this cradle will be in our room once we put the crib together, but it looks cute together with the table!:
I love the little seahorse that lights up from Great Grandma Emma & Great Grandpa Charles.

We picked up the matching crib and started assembling it, but failed to fully inspect each piece first and found this:
So we are waiting for a new one to be shipped to Target since the manufacturer (Simplicity) is no longer in business, but at least they won't make us return the whole crib; just exchange the part. But I think it will look very nice when we finish:

Here is a picture of what the crib will look like. It is convertible to a toddler bed, to a kid bed, to an adult bed:

The next thing we need to get is that beach mural!
