The Men In My Life

December 19, 2014 will forever mark the day that my heart was captured by 2 men, instead of just one. How can you blame me?

Our placement took place at the local library.

We are proud to introduce Eli Bryant Johnson as the newest member of our family. He was born on the coolest day 12/13/14 at 6 pounds 2 oz and was 19 inches long. This tiny little guy has now been a member of our family for a little over 14 hours now and we have loved every minute of it.

All clean after his first hotel sponge bath.

Eli's Nursery

We've been working really hard to get ready for Eli. Yesterday, we finally finished his bedroom. We're really excited. Take a look:

This dresser used to be ours, but we threw some love and paint into it to make it Eli's. The orange handles and cream paint match the theme in the rest of his room.

Adam and I built the crate and coat rack in the corner out of a pallets. We bought the mirror at a thrift store and gave it some TLC. We're planning on using the picture frame on the dresser to hold pictures of both of Eli's families.

We bought these frames at the thrift store and transformed them for this arrangement.There is a matching orange and cream rug that you can't quite see in this picture.

Here's a closer look.

Adam helped me complete this project last night. We cut out our own vinyl and everything.

And this is another reminder that some in Ohio loves him.

Do you think he will like it?

Happy Thanksgiving

Adam and I always have so much to be thankful for, but this year our hearts are exceptionally full!

This year we spent Thanksgiving with my Grandparents, my parents, Abby, Nate, Locklynn, and a few aunts, uncles, and cousins.

I helped my mom make a green salad and green bean casserole. I helped my Grandma make delicious Stove Top Stuffing. My Grandpa doesn't like stuffing, but each year he takes a bite of it off my place. Thanksgiving would not be the same without that! 

 Adam made 2 lovely pumpkin pies from scratch.
