Painting the nursery

Derek has been working hard getting the nursery painted so that we can get the crib together. Here are some pictures of his hard work:


The room before (in the process of cleaning it out):




Phase 1-the bottom part of the wall painted:





Phase 2-the top part painted (and the view from his room)



Phase 3-the stripe:





Dylan's attempt to help paint-Derek wanted to leave it, but I made him paint over it! :)



Can't wait to get the crib set up! Hopefully soon!

Update on my mom: She is doing better and planning to come home later today!! Her biggest problem is still her swallow/tongue control so she had to get a g-tube yesterday for feedings and is not able to eat any real food :( The doctor thinks that with time and rehab, it will come back though! Her vision is improving and she is working with physical therapy on her balance and coordination. Every day seems to be a little better and we hope that it continues this way!! Still waiting for the pathology report....
