Below are some pictures of where Tripp is currently spending most of his time, his nursery. Whether eating, sleeping, having a diaper changed, testing out his stellar lung capacity, or getting dressed, the nursery is the place to be. I snapped a few of these as he was enjoying his morning nap and thought I would share with you fine folks. (excuse the less-than-desirable lighting) ... Enjoy!
Dresser-turned-changing-table, along with the ever important glider, a Christmas gift from Tripp's Ferguson grandparents, Papa & Shug. We are an equal opportunity ACC home, so the glider features both UVa and Georgia Tech needlepoint pillows.
A little statement of sanity for when things are... well, insane. I enjoyed learning about the history & original intent of this poster. In short, these posters were produced by the British government in 1939 to boost morale of its people during the time leading up to WWII. Interestingly enough, it was never used as intended, but resurfaced in 2000 and is now found everywhere from office cubicles to doctor's office waiting rooms. ... and now it brings me peace in Tripp's nursery.

Baby Tripp, swaddled for a morning nap.
Here's a view from the door. The antique daybed was my grandmother's, and has been a God-send (more so for dad than for mom) during a few long nights. I am sure it will continue to get more and more use as the days roll by.
In other news... We are all glad to have Matt back in town after a week away on the west coast to learn all about his new job. He enjoyed his time away, but is also glad to be back, especially at 3 am each morning ... the Hampton Inn where he stayed did not feature a screaming, hungry baby, so that's a plus to being back home. I have been putting some serious miles on the stroller in the mornings before the heat and humidity get too bad. Tripp loves strolling!
That is all the news from here. We hope everyone is having a great weekend & staying cool in this hot weather. Keep those meters spinning...
Meg
