Pictures of the Nursery
Well, the nursery is finally done. Actually, it's been done for a couple of weeks now, just needed a couple of finishing touches. I initially started out saying I didn't want to do something overtly pink. Yeah, right. The room's about as pink as it gets. I did throw in some white and chocolate to break things up. Overall, we are pretty happy w/ how it turned out. Scott did a fantastic job w/ the painting and installing the chair rail. He's worked really hard the past few weeks on Abby's room and updating Nick's room (we didn't want him to feel left out). I appreciate all his hard work and putting up w/ my bossing him around (more than usual).
He's just getting started
Helping daddy out
Half way there!
Many thanks to Heidi for helping me w/ these letters and the shelf.
These are some of the crafts I've been working on for the nursery. Not the piggy, my friend, Thao, got me that. Isn't it cute?
The room has sort of a "Sweets" theme. This is a painting my friend, Christina, is working on. It's not quite finished yet, but isn't it fabulous?

Lord of the Rings
My little brother, Huy, got married a couple weeks back and Nick was one of the ring bearers. You should have seen him at the rehearsal. On his first attempt, he went stomping down the aisle, pleased as pie w/ himself. The good mood was dampened only because someone dare suggest that he stand in line w/ the groomsmen once he reached the alter. In case you didn't know, he has an aversion to standing in line. His second march down the aisle was more of a mad shuffling. Pretty funny, wish I had taken a video of both.
How did he do? Not too shabby considering he was up really late the night before, was up early, did not get to eat lunch and had to wear a monkey suit. Trust us, he complained loudly and often. But when the big moment came, he was clutch. He took his time strolling down the aisle, soaking in the fact that everyone was looking at him. We were pretty proud of our little man. His cousin, also named Nicholas, was a ring bearer too, but walked w/ older his sister, Megan. Check out in the video how he's trying to hold her hand, and she keeps slapping it away. Cracked me up!

The ceremony was beautiful and the reception lots of fun. Nick had his eyes on the groom's cake the entire time. It was a Transformer cake surrounded by cupcakes. He was half asleep, but somehow managed to down 2 cupcakes. With the sugar rush, he shook it on the dance floor. I wish had a video of it. When I get it, I'll post it.
Congratulations to Huy and his beautiful new bride, Shannon! We love you guys and will miss you!
Boys Trip
Did I promise I'd post in a couple of days? I meant at least a couple of weeks. I've got a good excuse and she's coming this week. Anyway, thanks for being patient. You'll need it in the next few weeks. Although I'm going to have Scott post a few entries for me just to satisfy the natives.
A few weeks back, Scott and Nick took a road trip to TX to see his parents. I was too far along for a 9hr trip. Doc said not a good idea, so I was left at home all by my little lonesome. The boys have been on a few road trips before, but none this long. It started off well. Twenty minutes into the trip, I received a call from Scott. In the background I could hear Nick arguing about something (his all time fave thing to do right now). An apparent misunderstanding. His daddy was trying to teach him all the major towns they'd be going through on their way to Magi/Grandad. He was not having it. They were just going to "Amawillwoe" and that was that. Scott also thought it was a good idea to give Nick some chocolate. A glance in the rearview a few minutes later revealed a chocolate covered mess. Of course they had to pull over to clean up. I think they pulled over twice in the first 20 minutes. They made it just fine w/ just a few additional roadside pit stops, if you get my drift. Nick likes to wait until the very last possible second to announce he needs to go potty.
I had 4 whole days to rest and relax before hitting the homestretch. It was nice, but the evenings were awful lonely w/out them. I did want to thank my brothers, who were kind enough to feed, entertain, and tote me around. I especially appreciate the feeding part. And thanks to Heidi and her husband, Jason, for taking pity on me and letting me hang out w/ them. They were sweet enough to help me w/ my nursery crafts, too.
Overall, a great trip for everyone. I was bummed I couldn't make the trip to see Scott's family (miss you guys!), but I got some much needed rest. I was more than ready to see my boys when Sunday rolled around. I told Scott no more road trips w/out me. He said no problem.
