The Nursery

I have a friend who often purports that the Native Americans have it right--families should live in tribes.  I think I might like that--family and friends clustered in our teepees, sharing life in close proximity. mostly together yet appropriately apart. Yesterday, a 21st century version of our particular tribe gathered to help put the nursery together to welcome our newest member.  How fun is that!

Our baby's nursery really is a welcoming reflection of all those who love her. Her family and her family's friends surround her from the lamp and ceramic art gifted by her mama's friends to

her daddy's painting hanging over the crib given by her Nonni.

I sewed the curtains and pillows and my daughter painted the still life as a student years ago.

Loving friends and family have outfitted this baby with everything she will need to use and wear (I enjoy the colorful, happy jumble of this closet!)

The proud parents-to-be graduated from their final childbirth/baby class just this past week.  The due date is less than two weeks away.  She is coming soon... and with her nest prepared, her family, her tribe and most especially, her beautiful mama are all ready and eager to greet her, hold her, and forever love her.
