What a difference a week makes! It was a monumental task: take a room that hadn't seen a change of wallpaper and carpet in over three decades and turn it, once again, into a charming nursery. There are few people in the world up to the task but a handful of them just happen to be your closest relatives and founding members of your fan club. We spent the week with your grandparents, Aunts Christa and Katie and your Uncle Kurt laying bamboo floors, painting molding, cutting (and cutting again) plywood and wallpapering. Your grandmother awoke one night with the brilliant idea to turn one wall of the room into your very own house and hand painted the edifice and built-in your room-within-a-room. It's a magical little place; we spend every morning in your little room playing with toys and exploring. It seems to suit you perfectly. Every time I walk in I'm a little astounded.
It's nice to have brilliant relatives who love you so immensely. It's an added bonus that they know how to use every tool at Home Depot.

Wow -- that looks fantastic! The little house is just such an amazing idea. SO sweet! And now Marian has the perfect place to throw a tea party. Or play drums. Or hatch a plan for universal healthcare coverage. love, mc
