Making Room


This time of year, four years ago, Shane and I were putting up beadboard and antiquing it. 
We were getting ready for our sweet baby girl. We'd been waiting a long time! 

The room turned out beautiful and so did she! 
Sweet love... 

February 2014,  We added a bit of blue and brown into the room. We were getting ready for our sweet boy. 
We'd been waiting a long time. He'd been waiting longer. 

The room turned out darling and so did he!
Sweet love...  



The room is currently cluttered with toys from two little mastermind mess makers. 
There's pirate and princess clothes in a pile in the corner. 
There's crayon on one of the beadboard  
walls and fingerprints on all the mirrors. 

It's a sweet little room where these two have made room for each other. 

I'm feeling a little sentimental today as I move some of the blue out of the room. 
We've decided to move Chu's bed and clothes in with his brother. Don't worry, most of his toys will stay in this sweet little room. He won't sleep in there anymore but play, he will! 

It's not always easy to make space.
Sometimes, it's bittersweet. Sometimes, we have to let go of something to make room.  It takes a lot of hard work! 
Sometimes, we can't see the beauty through the work. Especially, when the space being made is in our own hearts. 

We're getting ready for our youngest sweet girl. 
We've been waiting a long time. She has been waiting longer! 

The room isn't done yet but it's already  precious 
and so is she... 
 
Can't wait to have her sweet presence fill the room and our hearts.
