There is a sign in Disney world when you enter that states, "Where Memories Begin." Although this is true, this week the Dunn household will be where they begin (or really continue.) This afternoon, in about 5 hours my mom and dad will be arriving at the airport and visiting us for a week. I don't know who is more excited...me or them! The last time they were here it was not very enjoyable for them because they were helping to move all of our stuff into our house, so this time around we plan to show them a good time.
Not only are we taking them to some parks for the first time (in their lives), but the thing I am most excited about is we are starting to work on Eli's nursery. This little bundle of joy that Kevin and I talk to and feel kick everyday is their first grandchild. He is definitely going to be spoiled. Last November, when I had a miscarriage, we were far enough along that the entire family had gotten excited, which also caused devastation when we lost the baby. BUT, God has a plan and we have been blessed with another chance and a healthy pregnancy so far and we don't take a thing for granted. We cherish and anticipate this child so much already and he's not even here.
Eli's nursery will be painted navy blue with white trim and a white crib and decorated in baseball items. This should not be a shock to anyone who knows Kevin and me at all, being we are HUGE Atlanta Braves fans. We have the crib here to be put together and also the bedding (which is the Madras collection from pottery barn kids.) It is a various color plaid. We are just waiting for Nana and Papa to get here to help take a part in putting everything together. Pictures will be posted as progress is made and maybe even an update at the end of the week to what adventures we actually did take this week. I'm hoping Eli cooperates and the excited grandparents will even get to feel his strong little kicks. We will see, but what a fun week lies ahead!
