These two need no introduction... Courtney's boots grace the top of my blog every day (see above... ha!). They are our dear friends, neighbors and now buddies with us as we figure out how to raise baby boys together.  To say that Courtney has been a life-saver over the last 9 months would be the understatement of the year... she is one of the dearest blessings and I count it a privilege to know and love this family. Jack: WE CAN'T WAIT TO MEET YOU!!

Henry’s Nursery – personal

11 Comments
 
nursery_1

Please forgive me for my absence from blogging... I have been taking some much-needed time to catch up on editing, regroup/refocus and get ready for our sweet baby boy's arrival (any day now)! I still have a couple of open wedding dates for 2013 (and we have started booking for 2014) - I would love to hear from you brides, so keep 'em coming! :) We will kick off spring/summer wedding season with a GORGEOUS Seaside, Florida wedding in May, so watch out. It's going to be an incredible summer...

----------------------------

I wanted to share some images of our little nursery with you guys before life gets crazy with a newborn... (I figured it would never be this clean again)! This room is such a collaboration of love from our friends and family and it's become my favorite little corner of the world during the last few months. When we found out we were having a boy and started planning Henry's nursery last year, I kept thinking, "Colorado comfortable." If I could trick this little guy into thinking he grew up in Colorado, I've accomplished my goal. Ha! Too bad he will know it's Texas when we open the door and it's 105 degrees :/

No, but really: I pray we have created a comfortable, simple, lovely space for Henry to sleep, grow, and know he is so ridiculously, dearly and out of control loved.
