such a Funny commercial...

The boys and I stumbled across this commercial while watching t.v. on Friday afternoon. It has quickly become a family favorite. Any one of us can be heard singing this song throughout the day. Enjoy!

big Girl bed...

Our precious baby girl made the move from a crib to a "big girl bed." She was so excited and found it very hard not to "jump for joy" all over the bed itself. The bed frame is an antique wrought iron bed that belonged to my great-great aunt. I inherited the bed a few years ago from my grandfather and knew that my daughter would sleep in it one day. After a few coats of white paint, a new mattress and linens...it's a little girl's dream. I think her face says it all.
