Crib....

A very close lifelong friend of Clay's family, Roy Hughes, is making our baby a crib!  He does AMAZING woodwork.  He is retired and he does it for pleasure.  His shop where he works in his backyard is the size of a small house!  He told us early on to go and pick out one that we like.  He has made a few, including one for his son (Bryan) and daughter(Lacee).  Their son Bryan has a little girl so he has one at his house.  Roy and Linda keep Lacee's bed at their house (since she doesn't have kids) to use when the grandbaby comes to visit.  I have seen Lacee's several times and I love it everytime I see it.  I knew that I wanted one just like hers.  Well Roy called this weekend and said it was finished and he wanted us to come look at it before he starts staining it this week.  Here is a look at our bare naked crib.  

Here is a picture of Lacee's crib.  I took it so you could get a better idea of what ours will look like once it is stained.  We are actually going with a little darker stain color than hers, but not much.  


Isn't it gorgeous?!  We love it!  We are so excited that he is making it for our baby.  It is so special to us.  It will be something we will want to keep and pass down to our children since it was made from someone who is practically a part of the family.  I will take more pictures when he is done so you can see the finished product!    Here is a picture taken after church this morning.
