loot.

we are eternally grateful to the shuleys for giving us so much stinkin stuff. and the best part is, it's all stuff we (I) love. erin has great taste so i knew the clothes would be super cute and i also know she'd only get the best for gracie girl. here is our dining room at the moment:

i would say 90% of this stuff was given to us. not just from the shuley's, but also the rest of our family who couldn't wait to spoil finley. we tell each other everyday how lucky we are.

not only are we grateful to the shuley's, but also for having a house with a few "extra" rooms so we can organize everything and keep finley's room empty-- per my request. it just makes me feel better to have a clean slate to work with. right now we have a template of where the furniture may go when it eventually comes in. our awesome furniture is a-whole-nother story though. let's just say we went in nov. to order it so i could have peace of mind and get that done. it should be here any day now, or so we thought. b called to check on it, and it'll be here the 2nd week of march. yes, MARCH. and yes, finley will be here in april. if you know me at all, you know i like to be prepared. getting her nursery done a month before is not prepared enough for me, however, i'm thankful for so many other things at the moment this is really not a big problem. we'll make it work.

anyways, we've got a ton of stuff already (even without 2 showers coming up!) for her and now we're just trying to get it all organized. this weekend we finally got a new car!! that's a huge thing checked off the list and we loooooove it. so we're trying to get as much done now as possible and be prepared as possible for our world to get turned upside in the best way possible.
