Zoe's nursery

Finally, I got to "nest" when Zoe was about 8 weeks old! I had a blast doing her nursery and she loves it! It was the only room I cared anything about when we moved in. I got on it right away, painting and fixing it up!
Rewind a few months.. Our first adventures with Miss Z!

Week 1: in Texarkana at mom and dad's
Week 2-3: in a hotel on base in Shreveport
Week 4-5: living with aunt and uncle in Shreveport
Week 6: back in Texarkana at mom and dad's and Scott driving back and forth every night after work.
Week 7: FINALLY closed on our home!!!
Week 8: moving, unpacking, Zoe started daycare
Week 9: I started work

We couldn't be more grateful to be in our home and back to "normal"!!!



Daddy putting crib together






Bookshelves were given by someone who wanted to get rid of them. I spray painted them blue, they were white. Love them! And the picture above the shelves is a gift from Uncle Doc. When he brought it to us it made me tear up! There's deep meaning to his drawing, but I won't go on about that..
The little rocking chair was Zoe's great great grandmother's when she was a baby! How cool is that? Trying to decide if we want to paint it or leave it.







Since I've been working on this post, Zoe rolled over from her back to tummy for the first time and I missed it!!! :( Next blog post will have to be during nap time so I don't miss anything.

3 months isn't that long..

I CAN NOT BELIEVE I HAVE BEEN SO LAZY ABOUT THIS!
Okay, first off, confession. I have been too lazy, tired and busy to even get my computer out and see if I could bum the internet off a neighbor. UNTIL TONIGHT. I haven't opened my computer since Zoe was born. We don't have internet, television or phone yet (and may not for awhile) so I just haven't even bothered with it...
I don't even know where to start! But I'll keep this one short and sweet then catch up on pictures and fun stuff later.
We are settled into our home and love it in Bossier! I have a job and it's going good and we absolutely LOVE Zoe's daycare. Scott is work on base two weekends a month for the next few months so we stay here in Bossier most weekends and our families are here a lot of weekends. Since he's working so many Sundays we haven't found a church yet but have visited the one Z goes to daycare at and will be visiting again.
Zoe is an absolute JOY. We are crazy about her and don't know what we did before her. (blog, maybe?) She is at such a fun age right now! I swear she does something new every week!
If you are my friend on FB you've definitely kept up with me. All thanks to mobile upload pictures. I really should be ashamed of myself, but life is just busy! In the meantime, here's some Zoe love :)
