A New Bed

So, for those of you who didn't know this, Scott built an amazingly beautiful cradle for Haddyn before she was born. Well, he just finished his second feat in the "bed making" business. Along with the help and instruction of our friend Travis, as well as Travis' dad, and the help of our friend Taylor he has finished the most beautiful (and heavy) log bed known to man : ) I'll start with the before varnish and 1,000th time sanding and end with the final photos.
We will have a brand new mattress and box spring set to put in this enormous bed as well--we are very excited about that. Mostly, we're excited to see if Scott will finally start waking up without a sore back! (I think he's faking it personally) : )
It's beautiful and from what I understand, it's heavy enough to cause all kinds of new back pain for Scott...it takes 3 people just to move the headboard. Guess my days of wanting the bedroom furniture moved "just for some change" are over!

Sleepy Girl

Does anyone out there know just how tiring a long day is for a 7 month old little girl??? Oh so tiring! Some nights Scott showers with Haddyn instead of a bath and well, Haddyn didn't quite make it through this one. She laid her head down on his shoulder while he was rinsing her back and was officially down for the count! I couldn't believe it!After I got her out of the shower and into the towel she just continued snoozing. In fact, she slept through the lotioning, diapering, earring cleaning and woke up just enough to eat before going to bed. How cute is that??? Most of you know how late we are often away from home, BUT it was only 9:30. Our little bundle of sweet joy has learned the special talent of fighting sleep for her naps, so she had fought all day long and I guess it finally got the best of her. As stubborn as she is, a girl's gotta have her beauty sleep!!
