Cummer Gardens & Finished Baby's Room

Saturday I was feeling fairly energetic so we headed downtown to the Landing. We were planning on walking the path around the river but after we were there for about half an hour, the clouds came and blocked the sun and it turned really chilly. So we had lunch and then decided to do some walking at the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens. They had a traveling Egyptian exhibit that we thought sounded very interesting. We ended up being a little disappointed in its size, but of course we are both used to the extremely large museums in D.C. The below picture is the Cummer Oak. You probably can't tell but it was at least 5 feet wide... very beautiful!

We thought these were really adorable statues too... from behind and front

Here I am, showing just how low he has gotten.
I'm sure these gardens are even more beautiful when in full bloom.
Okay, now on to the updated baby room pics...

Okay, that's about it! We don't have anything else planned for the room. It's taken me forever to get these pictures uploaded today for some reason. Usually they go pretty quickly but the site must be having issues today. So I'm going to call it a day and get off of this computer. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Sorry for the long pause!

Okay, we are back! No, we didn't go anywhere but so many things have been going on recently that I just didn't feel like getting on here and posting away as usual. Most of you know that my mom just went through her third open heart surgery (valve replacement). That was definitely a not fun time and we are all very happy that she is finally home and recovering very well now. It really sounds like she is working very hard with her therapy to completely recover from her stroke. So things are really looking up! She'll be holding her new grandson with ease... that is if this kid will ever come out and make his presence known! :)

I've got some older pictures that I haven't posted yet. So let me do those now and then Doyle will have to take some new pictures of me today that I can post on here later. The two pictures below were taken Super Bowl Sunday. We had gone to my bosses house for the big event and then came home to take the pictures. He recently had a room added above their garage. I have no idea how large that screen was, but let's just say Doyle was very envious of that room!

These next pictures were taken around the middle of February. We've done even more to the baby's room since then, so I need to get in there and take more pictures so you can see what we think is the finished product. Again, we just need the baby! :)Mom made the jumbo net hanging behind the crib. It's full of toys already! Mom also made the baby afghan that is hanging on the back of the crib.
We've got the stroller in the room for now and beside that is the glider. The glider will go in our room as from the many reviews of it that I have read, fussy babies love sleeping in it. We also have the bassinet in our room too, but if he ends up prefering the glider, so be it!
This was after the shower my friends through for me at work. We also received many other items that we had already put away. This kid shouldn't be running out of clothes any time soon! We've also got around 300 diapers. So we should be good there for a little while anyway.

Oh yeah, I just remembered some other pictures that we just recently received from Christmas too. Remember when we stopped by our friends house in Cincinnati on the drive up? Well, we just got those pics so of course I have to post them! Man, I can't believe how much smaller I was at Christmas time!

Pete, Rosanna, me and Doyle

And we had to get a pic of just the girls

And you know the guys had to do something hilarious... I thought this was way too funny not to post! It was so good seeing Pete & Rosanna again!

Okay, that's it for now. I promise to take more pictures today of myself and the baby's room. So check back tomorrow!
