cradle

Here is the beautiful cradle Papa made for us, along with a few shots of how the guest room is becoming the nursery/guest room.






The bed and nightstand were Grandma Criss's, and were in my room when I was growing up. That mattress must be 60 years old. The blue down comforter was what I took to college.

I can't wait until Jack finishes his project - something to hang above the bed - so I can show it to you. It's awesome.

Speaking of awesome, we decided to postpone meatless monday to another day this week (when we'll probably just have a simple veggie quiche with crackers). Valentines Day is for carnivores. Jack made osso buco and a light vegetable pasta. For dessert he made carmelized pears over haagen daaz vanilla bean ice cream, with a 70% dark chocolate sauce. Yum.

Such a beautiful cradle!! Can't wait for baby brother to be sleeping in it.

I recognize that comforter...
It's a good-looking room! Jack's cooking sounds awesome; I'll have to take a leaf out of his husbandry book when I'm of marryin' age.

I agree with you about Valentine's Day - Jason made me fried chicken. Also, we had your falafels on Friday night, they were fantastic and in making them I got over my fear of not being able to successfully fry things! As you can tell we are on a fried kick.

Blythe also told me she is making the falafels this week :)

Enjoyed seeing your nursery, I have been in the mood to start re-imagining Ian & baby's room.
