industrious and eager

...for all of our loving family and friends...
your support and well wishes have been more than generous...

We'd love to introduce Amelie Ann.

The Final Countdown

As we get closer and closer to the arrival of the new family member, preparations have been in full swing. Not much text with this post, mostly pictures ( we are a visual species and we LOVE pretty looking things ) so....


My beautiful wife easing through the changes with grace and strength!











The last of the wallpaper...



the "hole" and patching that had to follow


The color pattern and scheme - the amazing quilt that the wife is making for the lil' one





boys at work and providing a little cooling for the summer months


the mural ( lets just say stencil) which is above the crib


and the crib - simple but very clean and sweet style





she said the light was just right.. and she was right...



and we are pretty sure Bella thinks this is all for her...



just a few more weeks to go!
we can't wait!

Uncle Bill has been waiting patiently for this one...

David Bowie moved in recently. Changes, like the one that came to my parents (me) and released by Bowie in 1972 are on track to enter our lives this June, and we are VERY excited!

She will have much love an support from mom, dad ( still have time to get use to that title ), sister(s), the Carl, and MANY, MANY more. Not to mention the future new and first time grandparents on both sides.

The wife is doing VERY well! Years of healthy livin' and a naturally taut midsection has blessed ( or cursed ) her with what many laymen onlookers consider a late-blooming-baby-bump. We are more keen on the growth and are most recently enjoying feeling "flutter" from time to time.

We even took some time to run away from the cold and snow of a wicked northeast winter. The Babymoon found us in warm Punta Cana, sipping fruity drinks beach side and treating our wintry shell to a much appreciated thaw.













Back to reality... The current office / wife's closet / spare room / library will soon receive an update to a hopefully hip and adorable nursery for the little girl.







Current inspiration are blushing orchid tones with a muted, warm buff base.



Potential projects ( along with fitting out the nursery with the usual suspects) include the following:

• Remove Wall Paper
• Fix the infamous "hole"
• Install ceiling fan
• Paint
• Install built in cabinets
  

We will keep you up-to-date on transition of the family as well as the room!!
