Edward is in the church Christmas performance playing "3-year-old Jesus." Just in case you were wondering, 3-year-old Jesus was a stinker, too.  I have no idea how this is going to go. He may or may not make it onto the stage. It's actually a pretty amazing show and Edward's part is really moving and a little heartbreaking, which is why I agreed to let him do it. So if anyone's snowed in next week and wants some Christmas cheer, I'll post a link for you to watch it online. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I'm so happy it's finally Christmas time!

Little Robertson's Nursery is finished-ish!

Morning Y'all! Well, the nursery is basically finished.  I mean there's always more that could be done, especially when one is posting pictures on a blog for <strike>millions</strike> 12 people to see.  I pretty much worked with everything I already had from <a href="http://www.belclairehouse.blogspot.com/2011/01/then-comes-baby-in-baby-carriage.html">Edward's nursery</a> (including the ill-fitting ottoman slipcover - don't judge, it does it's job).  Although this nursery is very different from Edward's bright and colorful nursery.  This one's a bit more grown-up and soft.  It helps that we inherited some pretty fabulous wallpaper from the previous owners.  I can take no credit for that, except that I kept it.<br /><br />So with all of those caveats (I'm resisting the urge to point out everything wrong with the room), I give you Little Robertson's nursery.  <br /><br />Come on in! <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Baby Things

Morning y'all! Last night I posted a sneak peek at the nursery on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/jhadley32">Instagram</a>.  I just hung my DIY artwork and my not-so-DIY tissue tassel garland that I ordered from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheFlairExchange">here on Etsy</a>.  <br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMpaXHrZtXn5hxi-wam6J7LfUwJfV4eIuvJ_UsIDGqtx2VKdjqqskiEDQ8tVk9I8HrgvfyohWIhOf6zQrq0ijDZeDkMnREQv_8ClkUOfHwjDmItpnHen9K6RQX0iPQNmJSFoLZFKCA5Ec/s640/blogger-image--1950054147.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">               <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMpaXHrZtXn5hxi-wam6J7LfUwJfV4eIuvJ_UsIDGqtx2VKdjqqskiEDQ8tVk9I8HrgvfyohWIhOf6zQrq0ijDZeDkMnREQv_8ClkUOfHwjDmItpnHen9K6RQX0iPQNmJSFoLZFKCA5Ec/s1600/blogger-image--1950054147.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">It's almost finished!

Anytime in the next 3 weeks would be great.  I'm beyond ready!

We will for sure be finding out what we're having.  No, I don't care whether it's a boy or a girl despite my recent pink obsession.  If it's a boy, all the more reason to pepper the rest of the house with pink, right? I figure, I'll get the child I'm supposed to have.<br /><br />Thanks for coming back and visiting! I hope this makes up for the lack of posts this week.  I promise I'll be back to regularly scheduled programming next week.<br /><br />xo <br /><br />
