Nevaeh's New Room

When we found out that we were going to be able to adopt Nevaeh we had to play musical bedroom with the boys. We paid to have the bonus room converted into a bedroom and had built in cupboards made for all our school books.Jared and Jacob moved from their bedroom to the new converted bedroom and Joshua moved from his bedroom into Jared and Jacob's old bedroom.

We then decorated Joshua's old room for Nevaeh. Misty, a good friend and neighbor of mine not to be confused with Nevaeh's bio mom, painted a Tinkerbell mural on the walls as a gift for Nevaeh. Misty did an amazing job and Nevaeh loves the room.

I went a little overboard on purchasing all the furniture in Tinkerbell also but as Nevaeh gets older we will purchase a white day bed and dresser.




The first night we tried to have Nevaeh sleep in her new toddler bed and it did not go over well at all. So we moved the crib out of our room and put the mattress back in the crib. She was a lot happier sleeping in her new room in her old bed. I guess we will wait to use the toddler bed when she starts climbing out of the crib.

Christmas 2008

I can't believe it is already Christmas day. Time seems to be flying by so fast. I just got back from taking Nevaeh to visit her parents and grandma at Denny's and we will be leaving for Idaho soon to see Steve's parents. It is always such a hassle to get permission to take Nevaeh anywhere with us.

Her visit went okay. It's hard to visit for 2 hours at a restaurant because she is now trying to walk and wants to get down and move around. Her family was very excited to see her and had a few presents for her. She was able to show them how she can stand now and is starting to take a few steps. I just wanted to hurry and get it over with so we could get going to Idaho. Steve's nephew and niece have children around Nevaeh's age and it will be fun to watch them all play together.

The boys seemed to have a good time this morning and they are excited to get going on our trip.

Steve and I like to wrap each other's gift in a different
box so it makes it harder to guess what it is.

Nevaeh thought it was more fun to play in the boxes and
open the gifts than playing with her new toys.


Joshua liked his new shirt.
