A week ago my SIL, Jeni, threw me another baby shower, complete with:

Homemade candy pacifiers and a “Bun in the Oven” cinnamon candle party favor.

A homemade diaper cake (which, she later explained to me how much I threw her for a loop when I announced that I was planning on using cloth diapers. Heh. However, I’m wise enough to already know that oh, don’t worry, those disposables will surely save the day on some long road trips, I have no doubt.).

She even carved a baby carriage out of a watermelon, out of which she served fruit salad.

She is the crafty one, isn’t she? A closet crafter. Seriously, I had no clue!

It was a very nice shower, and I received many cute things, all of which are currently residing in my guest bedroom where it looks as though Babies R Us blew up:

It will be taken care of soon, though, because the nursery is well on its way! Rob painted yesterday, then he and my dad put the furniture together.

Here’s a little peek:

Rob tries to make me believe that he doesn’t like painting, but look at that happy face. There’s no fooling me, honey.

Assembly: successful. I love this crib. I hope Avalon loves it, too, because since it converts into a full size bed this is where she’ll rest her head every night until the day she gets married and moves out of the house. When she’s thirty-seven.
