Busy Weekend!

We have had a busy weekend here at the Ginapp house. Our friend Travis was in town for the 4th of July weekend. It's starting to become a tradition to have Travis here for the 4th. This is the second year he has come to visit and we have such a good time with him. For those of you who don't know Travis, he is also a Holyoke survivor. We went to high school together and Asa and Travis worked together during the summers for the City of Holyoke. Travis was also an usher in our wedding.

The best part about having Travis as a guest is that his is usually game for anything that we've got going on. For example, last year we had to walk in the 4th of July parade and carry a large helium balloon for the firm. Travis agreed to carry the balloon, too, and we had a great time. This year, we are obviously consumed with preparing for the arrival of little Wiggles and Travis jumped in to help out there as well. In addition to 2 rounds of golf, Asa and Travis managed to get quite a few projects done in the baby's room. Here are some of the pictures:

The first project, installing a new fan/light. This one is not only more modern looking, it also allows Asa the freedom to walk around the room without worrying about hitting his head! I'm sure he will be thanking me for spending the extra money on it when he is up in the middle of the night with Wiggles.



Second project: A new closet organizer for Wiggles.



Ruthie took it upon herself to serve as the project manager. She sat outside the room all three days and meowed orders to the boys. Whenever I would show up, she would fill me in on their progress and her criticisms. She had a lot to say!



Final project: New closet doors. We decided to go with the mirrored doors for our little diva. No doubt she will spend hours here making sure she looks perfect.

So, we are finally getting down to the last details. We still need to put up the chair rail. I think Asa, Blair and I have finally reached an accord as to what style we should go with. And we also need to find a shade/curtains for the window and put in the new door. Then we just need to load it with furniture, toys, decorations, and clothes! (sigh) Only 10 more weeks until Wiggles is due...
