This is Luke's nursery and a description of a couple of things. The lighting isn't too good on this first one, so I guess you'll all have to come visit sometime when he gets here.

One of the shelves in the room. Chronicles of Narnia on the left. The piggy bank was given to us by Susan and Jared Dean--Jared's a firefighter also, so you can see the fire engine and there's an ambulance on the other side. Luke's name is above the engine. Very cool.

Book ends with firefighter boots, hydrant and hose. The books are old books that Jennifer's grandmother had at her house(King Arthur, Pinocchio, Robinson Crusoe, Tom Sawyer, Treasure Island and others)

We didn't make the nursery a firefighter theme, but we did put a couple of accents. I saw this one while out one day and really liked it.

The picture is a father holding his boy on his shoulders. It was Jennifer's grandmother's, so it makes it even more meaningful.

Jennifer designed the squares on the wall. I was the labor. The thin squares are real wood that we painted. The solid squares I painted on the wall. I think she did a great job.

By the chair is a basket of books Jennifer had as a kid.

Jennifer also designed the stripes on the wall. I was also the labor on this one. It took a week to paint the stripes on the wall(measuring, drawing the lines equidistant all the way up and down, taping, painting, retaping, painting again, then touching up)--but it was worth it.

The rocking horse is a fawn according to the maker. I guess you can tell by the ears.

The chair--a.k.a. a "glider"(which I just found out while researching all this pregnancy stuff)
