...hopefully in that order!!!
Our fourth bedroom has been Troy's
beloved Aggie room/office.
Yes, it has maroon walls, deer heads...
just all things man.
And I mean manly man.
Since my computer (and junk!)
occupy the real office in the house,
we decided to build a detached garage/
office for T-dawg so Baby Boy Love
could have his own room!
Yes, indeed, the maroon walls will
be baby blue VERY SOON!!!
I can't wait because I've had this bedding
since
before I even knew he was a BOY!
This is the drive leading to our garage. The new
garage/office is going where the double gate is.
That was where Troy was always going to park
a boat. He's getting a baby instead and,
thankfully, he couldn't be happier about that.
(
now anyways!).
This job was going to be Louis and
Troy's project...they had big plans to
work on certain aspects of it together.
Makes us very sad.
LV and Troy were a great team!
Walker has said many times since construction
began that he'd rather a dirt pile than a pool or
a new garage/office. We should get him his
very own dirt and rock pile for Christmas.
His best buddies like it, too!
Hadlee didn't get into the dirt pile too much...
but she certainly loves her STAGE!!!
Walker & this buddy thought it was the perfect skateboarding ramp. Me, not so much!
Walker can't wait to get home from school every day to play on the dirt pile. He gets out of the car and goes straight to it. He could play there for hours on end. Such a boy!!!
All the while, Sweet Thing entertains Mommy performing on the stage...
Construction really took off this week...
when Hadlee saw it, the very first thing
she said was, "They messed up my stage!"
The other funny comment from Haddie was one morning when we went to look at the workers hard at work, she said, "They are 'peakin 'panish!" I didn't even know she knew what Spanish was!
From the beginning Troy has made it
clear to Walker that this would be the 'boys'
spot ~ a place to hang out and work on things.
Walker is so excited about this and I have to
get on to him for telling Hadlee things like
'you won't have the special code to get in'!!!
Monday will mark 32 weeks so this mama
is SO excited that this is well-underway!!!
Troy drew the plans and I think it
is going to be PERFECT!
I keep telling Troy that it will be so nice
for him to escape two kids arguing and
a baby screaming. For some reason,
This was in Walker's folder from school. I absolutely LOVE it!
Let me translate for you...
"My mom is having a baby and my dad is getting an office and the workers speak Spanish and they have poured the concrete in."
Baby Brother Love...
We love you so much already! Sometimes I don't think I can make it nine more weeks for you to get here. Then, I look outside and I start praying that you DON'T get her before this is built. Daddy is working so hard to get everything finished before your arrival. He is gladly giving you his Aggie room. This was a HUGE step for Daddy! The outside construction must be finished before we can fully complete your new room. Your big brother is going to be a little disappointed when the new construction is finished, but that does NOT mean he doesn't love YOU a whole bunch!!! Being a boy yourself, you'll understand how much fun dirt and rocks are soon enough. Your little sister still wishes that you could share a room with her. I think you are going to like your big brother and big sister just fine. I also want you to always know how hard your Daddy worked for you! You'll like your baby blue walls, too. And someday you'll probably want them maroon again. I know how you Pierce boys are!
You are LOVED!!!
So that's what's going on over there! The boys and I were leaving this morning, and Andrew said, "That poor guy has to work in the rain." I saw that it was Troy, and I figured he probably didn't mind too much. Seems like the kind of job he'd enjoy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet letter to Baby Love...are Walker and Hadlee still calling him Cosmo? lol
ReplyDeleteI know Walker will be sorry to let that dirt pile go, but it's for a good cause, right?
Nine more weeks...wow! Time has flown by...can't wait to see that precious little baby boy!
I cannot wait to see Baby Love's nursery all complete! What a sweet daddy to give up the Aggie room. Maybe Baby Love will prefer his room to one day be green and gold?????
ReplyDeleteI love that bedding, Mindy. So cute.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see it all finished! I love the baby bedding and I know Ryan would love a big pile of dirt for Christmas too:-). What a great idea to have a boys room. I love it!
ReplyDeleteOh and Dora teaches all kinds of 'panish to Ally. The other day she said," mom this is delishioso!"
The Reeds can't go a day without spying in on the Panish Peaking people building the office! Haddie you are so funny:)
ReplyDeleteCAN'T WAIT to meet this baby Love BUT not yet baby LOVE!
Love you~RoRo
