our latest project...whoa baby

We only have seven more weeks till Baby Howell's debut,
so that means one of several things.

The kid needs a room!

And it's coming together...

(he's not allowed near the crib anymore)

We have a crib, mattress and rocking chair!
Still working on bedding and a dresser,
so it's not cute yet and all his clothes are in a box.
But we're getting there!


And in other news:

Tonight is the first use of our fireplace this season!
Hooray!


Bring on an evening of german pancakes for dinner (healthy, I know), baking pies and drinking hot chocolate.
(even though it's still 50 degrees outside--we weren't blessed with a false alarm blizzard this week like everybody else :) )

Hope y'all have a fabulous Thanksgiving tomorrow!
