Good Morning Kaiya: Make room for Boo Boo

For Kaiya

"Oh wow...It's a girl!" your Father said to me with smile. Both of our eyes were filled with tears. I felt peace and joy and beauty all at once as I held your tiny body in my arms.
"What is her name?" the nurses asked.
"Kaiya..her name is Kaiya."

Kaiya,
From the moment you came into our world, your Father and I knew our lives would change forever. We had no idea it could be this amazing. There are no words to describe the love in my heart. When I look at you I feel like everything is brand new, like the start of a new day. I am wide awake, filled with life. I smile through tears as I type each sentance, so grateful for my sweet, sweet baby. I am now reminded of the potential each day brings; all of the good things life has to offer. Every morning now is a 'good morning' waking up and singing to you. You are pure JOY.

Good morning, Kaiya. Good morning, life.

Make room for Boo Boo

Welcome to the finished nursery for our Kaiya or "Boo Boo" as we like to call her. We had so much fun putting this room together!

Quilt rack and frames were spray painted to match the crib and the wall art was handmade to match with the bedding set!

Old lamp was recycled into a baby lamp with some hot glue and left over embellishments.

Mobile was handmade by Mommy using ribbons and an embroidery hoop.

Thanks to Great Aunt Jane for the handmade yellow blankie.

Aaron painted the walls and applied the wall decal using lyrics from Bob Dylan's 'Forever Young'.

"K" made by Mommy with Modge Podge and left over buttons.

Handmade flower was a gift from Ashley Tyler.

Aaron refurbished the armoire by painting it black and adding new hardware. This thing also weighs about 1,000 pounds so special credit to him for moving it so many times!
