Claire's Room and Sad News

Lets start out with the Sad news first to get it out of the way. Scott and I finally decided that it was time to say goodbye to Roxy, and give her a chance at another home that would be better for her (and us).

Although I loved her, I was about the only one that did. We did not feel that she would be able to behave once Claire came. Scott drove her up to the Humane Society of Utah in Murray on Monday, February 2, 2009. He did it while I was at work, which we both decided would be the best way to accomplish the deed, since I tend to get emotional when it comes to my pets (A Brown/Piotroski family characteristic I will probably never rid myself of.) I choose to believe that she will find some sweet old lady that she will love and will love her back, and they will both live happily ever after. Please, no comments to the contrary.....let me relish in my little false reality.

I will miss you, Rox box, even if no one else will......

On a happier note....today we had the baby furniture delivered! We got a Crib, a dresser, and a changing table. All fit PERFECTLY in Claire's room. Scott was kind enough to get it all put together pretty much by the time I got home. I was so excited! As soon as he finished we went ro Babies R Us to get the bedding I wanted as well as a mattress. Look how cute!

Note the cute crib ruffle! It's my favorite part.....

And below check out the cute stuffed animals!

And now the dresser. We got a Lamp that matches the rest of the bedding!

And the Changing table:

And that's Claire's room so far! Tomorrow we are going to get a valence pole so we can put up the matching window valence. I think this will really brighten up the room. I have a few other plans to fill up the walls, but I need to wait for another weekend to keep myself from going overboard.
