Project Nursery...COMPLETE!

After months of hard work and just in time before little Addison arrives, the nursery is complete!  My favorite thing to do these days is to just sit in the nursery and think of all the little projects that made this room what it is today.  It was such an enjoyable process and so fun to think of the different places we accumulated the pieces from, which is everywhere from chic on-line stores, to hand me down antiques, to Home Goods and even Cracker Barrel!  Thank you to Caden Lane for the inspiration to our nursery, as well as Peyton Tanner for the custom painting that gave the nursery such a special touch!  Now all we need is our baby!

Big sister Cocoa thinks the room is for her!

We are waiting on the real changing table below which will be here mid May!

My mom and partner in crime in the design process!  She also sewed the window treatments, among many other projects!

Stay tuned for Addison's debut any day now!!!

Baby Showers!

On Saturday, March 12th, I had the most beautiful and special baby shower, hosted by my mom at Mirasol Country Club.  Not only were the decorations amazing, complete with fabulous diaper cake center pieces that she made (see pictures below...she really needs to go into business!), but the food was great, and the company was even better.  The room was filled with such special women that I am so thankful for!  Thank you SO much to everyone that came to celebrate Addison!

Addison, you are loved so much already!

Thank you Gami for everything!!

Mimi and I!

 Soon to be great grandmother who flew in from Houston!

Adorable cupcakes!

Thank you Jacki & Anna for your help!

She got so many cute gifts, including the mini version of the exact same dress I was wearing, completely by coincidence!  Thank you Stephanie!

Four pregnant girls in this picture...let the fun begin!!

During my shower, the guys gave Eric a golfing baby shower.  Although they did not take any pictures like they were told to do :), below are the goody bags and cigars, along with his golf themed diaper cake!

COMING TUESDAY...Project Nursery is COMPLETE!!

A rocking chair with a WHOLE LOT of tradition!

In December, my sweet grandparents who I love very much were nice enough to drive down a rocking chair all the way from Houston that they have had for many years.  My grandmother remembers being rocked in this chair, as well as my mom and myself.  I never knew the story behind the rocker, but come to find out, this rocking chair is so old it belonged to Addison's great, great, great grandfather!  Not only is it a beautiful addition to the nursery, but what a sweet piece of tradition to pass down from one generation to another.  Below is the lineage from now to the original owner of the rocking chair:

Addison's Parents

Addison's Grandparents

Addison's Great-Grandparents

Addison's Great-Great-Grandparents

Addison's Great-Great-Great Grandparents

(The lady on the left was married to the man on the far right and thats whose rocking chair it was!)

The rocking chair today!  The wood is absolutely beautiful and the only thing we did was get it re-upholstered and now its all ready for lots of rocking with Addison!  

(Also, the sewing machine behind the rocking chair belonged to her great, great, great grandmother pictured above on the left)
