The Nursery

As Mom was leaving from her most recent Cincinnati visit, she said, "Well, the nursery is finished. All we need to do now is add a baby."

Our nursery is a compilation of a lot of meaningful things to both Lance and I. There's a lot of sentimentality and history in that room. And, it would have never been possible without the love of the most creative people I know: Shana & Martina.

Here are some pics:

Martina made the mobile, and she will also be making letters with the baby's name to go above the crib, which will be the last thing added since the name is still under wraps. The baby's nursery furniture actually belonged to my parents and was used for me and my sisters. We're really excited about getting to use these pieces for Lancina.

This little rocking chair was a gift from the Hottman's and it actually belonged to Don, Lance & Kip before it was passed to Lancina. It is perfect for her room. I can't wait to see her sitting in it!
Marlou the Owl (pictured below) was made by Aunt Shana, and her job is to oversee the nursery. She was inspired by our dearly departed grandmother who, like it or not, pretty much oversaw everything in the world too. Aunt Shana also made the nursery curtains.
