Man Deck

I know I've told lots of you about Will's "man deck" that has become our spot for football Saturdays, which has been super fun. Will and Simon suspended the tv from the roof all by themselves. I'm so proud! Mom, I know you've been waiting to see the cushion covers too... thanks again for your help!

Nursery Started

Thanks to Mary's help and a trip to a few stores... and a little hard work of course... the nursery is started! We are going with a black and white damask theme with of course pink accents throughout. I am loving it so far and can't resist walking in Annie's room every time I walk down the hall. I had to include one of Nellie, hiding from the camera of course as always!

Don't make assumptions...

So, we've been so excited that we are naming the baby after both her grandmothers. What we didn't check was how to spell those names! Will's mom was easy because she goes by Mary Carroll and we see her name all the time. Ann was my mom's middle name though and she took her maiden name so we never saw this name written down. I completely assumed she spelled it Anne and just found out the other day when I was talking to her that neither she nor my grandmother had an "e" on the end of Ann. So, I've been spelling her name wrong... hahaha.... and now it is officially Ann Carroll. I'm just glad we had this conversation before we were all at the hospital signing the birth certificate! And it made me feel better my brother thought there was an "e" too. Already spelling my child's name wrong... what next? hahahaha
