We did everything!

Friday was a work hard, play hard kind of day.  Mom and Dad were here to help us finish the kitchen project.  It took lots of muscle, a trip to Lowe's, a trip to Ikea, lots of screw tightening, and some creative thinking but it is finally finished! We couldn't be happier with how it turned out.  The storage is amazing and it looks like something out of a magazine.

The UPS man came late in the afternoon and brought 5 boxes of baby stuff! Including the rocker and ottoman, a gift from Momma Sylvia.  Ryan and I put it together and set it up in the room.  He practiced his rocking skills.  Things really started to come together.  We added the quilt from Heather and put the dots on the wall.  Its looking like a nursery!

 

We ended the day celebrating Jessie Ann's birthday at King and Duke. It was an epic dinner: octopus, bone marrow, potato salad, corn bread (covered with meat), steak tar tar, lamb belly, scallops, pork chops, hanger steak, artichokes, and French fries.  Everything was so delicious and we wrapped up with all 5 desserts, we couldn't help ourselves. Ryan is still talking about the cookie tart and I think we will remember the chocolate skillet pie for a long time. It was the perfect ending to a hard day - celebrating with family and eating like kings, or dukes, ha!

look at that meat on the bread!
