Today I put the finishing touches on Tyler's room. After receiving our belongings in three separate shipments a week apart, we were finally able to consolidate all of Tyler's clothes, toys, pictures, and memorabilia into one place. Peter assembled the crib (Nice work!) and I took on the rest of the room.
With his crib assembled and the arrival of the changing table and our old dresser, the room started to take shape. To feel close to everyone we have pictures and cards on his shelves.
A favorite picture of mine that has traveled the world with us is one of Papoo taken at Ted's Elkhorn house on their birthday in 2003. His beaming smile warms my heart. Papoo watches over Tyler while he sleeps and reminds us daily of the great man we hope to raise in his likeness. 
Ty's room has the neat feature of a small room off to the side. It also has a balcony window for lots of natural light. I thought this would be an ideal nook for some toys and reading time. We have tested the cozy nighttime reading corner a few times and it seems to be a great place to unwind for us all thanks to our old futon mattress that serves as a couch. Thanks to everyone who has sent us books for Tyler. It is fun to read the books and be reminded of you each time we do so. 
Now...on to the rest of the house!

Hey Neen, what do you think of me now, on the blog again!:) Your house looks BEAUTIFUL. I was thinking of the extremes our families have had in rentals--you now in Shanghai's Shangri-La, and remember us in the Taj-ma-HOLE (as Ted termed it) in Madison before we moved to Elkhorn? LOVE YOU! Kiss your boys for us! Kassy
