Room Progress and Fun

 Yay for progress on the new office happening so that the baby room could be worked on and completed!

 David did a wonderful job painting everything and doing all the trim! He even did the chair rail for me that I wanted. It was fun to make a room have some lively colour.

 May 5, my last day to wear the "Harvest Kids" shirt for a while when serving. It's a good thing because I had already moved up to David's shirt and it wouldn't fit much longer.

 The lovely ladies of our church put on an incredible baby shower for us. We were so overwhelmed and blessed by everyone's love and how much work they put into it. 

Thanks to Tracy for the cake!

My friend Heather (on the right) had the ladies make an "ABC Scripture Book" as a surprise for me! What a treasure!

 We got to see the family this weekend at a cousin's wedding (Tara Lawson). (Rebekah is holding Caleb, one of Melissa's boys.) It looks like the kids all want to drool on the guys heads. =]

 Tonight David set-up the crib and hung the curtains in the baby room! We bought the crib/rocker/dresser set off of kijiji! I cleaned it all up tonight and can't wait to start putting things away and decorating a bit more.

 The crib set is also off of kijiji..the ribbons will have to go if we have a boy. =]

 The dresser/change table!

 The lady forgot to send the footstool...so that's still coming. 

 In order to have a baby's room David had to finish the office downstairs. It's definitely smaller (both our chairs don't really fit in at the same time...I guess that's a hint that it's time to go on maternity leave.)

 This picture wants to stay sideways for some reason...anyways it shows David's fabulous view from his desk. He doesn't have to face a blank wall anymore.

And...the most exciting part of the office...the storage room! David built shelves to fit the bins inside the utility room so we can finally stay organized and have a place to keep all the CEF stuff in one place. Can you believe that's all CEF stuff??? That doesn't even count all that's in the filing cabinet and on the shelves in the office!

Good News Club Visitor

 I have to say last week we had the most interesting visitor to Good News Club. Spencer was coming to teach and he asked if he could bring friend with him. "Uhh...well...he needs to have a police check and volunteer forms completed," David started to respond...

"Oh, not that kind of friend. He's a baby black squirrel," Spencer replied. A few days before, Spencer found the abandoned baby squirrel and  began caring for him. Since the little squirrel needs to be fed every few hours, he needed to be able to feed him right before club and after. The squirrel was kept in a secure box in the basement away from the kids during club. However, at the end of club while waiting for parents to come, Spencer brought out his friend for "show and tell". 

 I have to admit, he really is a cute little squirrel and it made for a unique feature to show the kids! I'm not sure we'll plan to make this a weekly event, however.
