11 weeks to go

     Today, grandma and I made a road trip to have lunch with mom and dad.  Mom made some taco salads and we enjoyed a fun visit getting your room a little more prepared for your arrival. 
     We delivered the rocker that we were so excited to get your mom to spend hours of rocking, reading and singing with you in the next few years.  It was almost all put together, with the exception of a few bolts and nuts to put in and tighten.  It was a nice addition to your room that is just about complete. Grandparents Z's had already delivered and set up your crib. It was awesome and Mom said it converted into a toddler bed, so you should get good use out of it.
     A few years ago, grandma ran into some wood letters that she had no idea what to do with so she stored them away.  Digging through things last month she found them and got them out. She tried to spell Taylor but was an A and a L short. She had me do some small cuts to a v, f and t and we were able to create the missing letters to complete your name and post it over your crib. Mom thought the letters fit perfect so we were happy with the outcome.
     We also made a trip to the store and bought mom a couple more maternity tops for work and looked for a bookcase to go beside the rocker. We, didn't have any luck finding one but did find a carpet for your floor and mounting sticky tack to hang your letters. We think if we find a bookcase soon, for all of your story books, your room will be complete for you to come home to.
     Dad was watching his sports and acting preoccupied while we worked.  BUT,  his excitement for things was more obvious than he wanted to show.  He came upstairs and turned a bolt or two,  found me some wood glue to complete my letters and then had an exciting little grin on his face when asked to get his picture beside your new bed and letters we put above it on the wall.  Mom even told us later she caught him in your room just looking around when we left.  He reminds me a lot of me before the birth of your mom.  He has no idea what joy you will bring to him.  He is  in for a very exciting change to his world. There's nothing like a "daddy's girl"  to change a man's perspective on life, goals, priorities, and shrivel up that "macho"  image all of us guys, atheletes have growing up.
     All in all?? Another good day................ Can's wait for your arrival. :)
