Although, I’m sure Mary Clare will have plenty of hand-me-downs, I wanted her to have a few of her own things! I ordered new bedding for her crib and the cradle, which happens to be Mel’s great grandfather’s. I’ve had time today and yesterday, because McCanless is with Mimi, so I’ve been wandering around the house trying to figure out what to do. Thought I’d take a few pictures of the girls’ room. (I don’t know what we did before we had children!!)

Yes, the girls will share a room! I couldn’t give up the play room just yet.

This is the dressing table/dresser that Mel built for McCanless.

The cradle is in our room. I’m determined to have McCanless sleep in her room and when Mary Clare is older and sleeping through the night, they both will be in their room. (We’ll see how it goes. Mel swears that we all four will be in our bedroom before it is all over.)

Something McCanless didn’t have…a Moses basket!

Passing through the playroom…yikes, too much “stuff”!

Mel also built the window seat and bookshelves on either side. (He can be quite a handyman, sometimes…when he wants to be!)
