My Baby's Room




We used Piper's room as the packing room so now that I have pulled the suitcases out, I can see the finished product. I really like it. It is a tiny room, but once we got everything in it the room seemed to be the perfect size.

The bench and hutch was mine as a little girl and I love that I can give it to Piper. Harrison loved using it and called it his "kitchen," but he agreed to let Piper keep it in her room.







I just bought the ballerina bedskirt yesterday and I love how it looks. My friend from work, Jason, gave me the quilt from his father's business. Isn't it adorable?

I love seeing Piper's picture in the frames. The book next to the frame is so adorable and I had never seen it. It is perfect for Piper.





And the dollhouse....we went with my mom and Jack (Pa) to Disney all the time. The last time was 7 days before she was diagnosed. While we were there, she said she wanted to buy the castle dollhouse for "Baby China." Since we thought we would be back one more time before referral, we waited. After she died, I gave Harrison and Mike a trip to Disney. It was really to force us all to go back as soon as possible and just deal with it. We went and had a wonderful and emotional time. About 3 weeks after we returned a gift arrived from Disney from "Mom." Mike had remembered and had ordered it for me for Piper. The old guys is pretty good some time!


P.S. The little green play table was also mine as a child. The top has the alphabet and cute kiddie pictures on it. I just love it.
