Baby Has Some Furniture

No baby album is complete without pictures of Dad assembling the crib. Our church gave us this brand new crib-dresser combo. Here is John putting the dresser together.







Bebe says, "I'll help!"











Now all we need are the drawers...

Baby Registry Info

We now have a baby registry at Target. You can view it at Target.com or in the store. Or, you know, get us whatever you want.

What our baby would look like if we were cats.

Daddy Bird Prepares the Nest

Here's John painting the nursery. We got a beautiful color called Sassy Lilac. Depending on the lighting, it looks anywhere from dusty purplish-blue to almost fuchsia.






Grandpa Bob helps, too.

Vacation: Close Encounter with a Giant Crustacean

This was our third day at the Mall and the first day John remembered his camera. I'm carrying bags from Teavana and Godiva.


This big pink guy is the mascot from Bubba Gump's Shrimp Company. It's a Forrest Gump-themed restaurant. I thought it (the concept) was cute, and the food was good.


And here's a 1927 Buick we saw in the parking lot. It was owned by Al Capone!

Vacation: World's Largest Truck Stop

You may know this already, but there are a lot of trucks in the Midwest. I guess it's "drive through" country. Consequently, there are a lot of truck stops. This one on I-80 in Iowa is apparently the largest in the world. They have a food court, rows of gift shops, even a trucking museum. They also have a movie theater, arcade, dentist, and every kind of truck accessory, along with DVDs, video games, and cowboy boots.




Look at all the truck stuff!


This room also contained several trucks. Sorry this is a Freightliner.



The blue one is my favorite.
