Seoul's Room

We got excited to get Seoul's room ready... one of the reasons we decided to stay in Salem for the time being. After just a few little spats (not really but Kelley likes to pretend we have domestic disputes once in a while) this is the result.

Here is our 3rd bedroom before....



... and then it becomes Seoul's room.... with a crib & bedding....



... and the lamp, diaper holder, & hamper... and the vanity that I had growing up (although the mirror isn't on it yet)....


We catch each other just hanging out or gazing at everything in wonder that we are having a baby. It brings such a smile to our face... we are just missing the little girl now!

Kelley's favorite thing is to put things in the crib to show Seoul... so far there is his diploma, his trophy from winning Fantasy Baseball two years in a row, some of our favorite stuffed animals, and we'll see what else shows up there before she is born.

My mom brought me the rocking chair that my grandpa bought her when she had kids. My dad bought Seoul an antique dresser for her little clothes. We invested in a diaper genie and a changing pad to go on the dresser. We really are ready... I think! (More pictures to be posted of the final room)

CHEERS 4 SEOUL

The story:

Our nieces and nephew are super excited for this little baby to come. One evening we were having dinner at their house. We were getting ready to serve our food when Amanda raised her glass in a toast and said "Cheers for Seoul!" She smiled at all of us in excited anticipation until we repeated the words and clinked glasses. It became a fun phrase Kelley and I say.

With that background, for our anniversary Kelley bought wooden letters for us to paint that spell "Cheers 4 Seoul" along with a couple butterflies, a pair of flip-flops (because I love them), and a crown that says "Princess." We painted them in purple, pink, and red and we are going to put them up on the wall over the crib as decoration. I will post pictures when they're all done and up on the wall.
