The Rooms are Ready!!!!

Dave has finished his painting and I am (almost!) finished with the decorating....We are ready for Matthew to come home! As you can see we did his room in a race car motif. I don't know why, but it just "felt" right. It turned out so cute, I sure hope Matthew likes it. I still need to get a couple of items but I'm waiting so Matthew can help pick them out. I'd like to get a side lamp and a throw rug for next to his bed.
We redid the bathroom in a fish scene...I love the bubbles that Dave painted. I think it tones down the pink just enough. I LOVE the accessories, especially the octopus toothbrush holders!
Analiese and Grace are sharing a room; I'll post some photos of their room later. Analiese is falling asleep lots faster but has asked why Matthew got her room. She wants her bed back even though we bought a new full size for the girls. Grace is having a little difficulty sharing "her room". Ah, just a small piece of what we know we will experience in the weeks to come.
We went to First Fridays yesterday and just loved our time there. The Chapman's put together a wonderful video that just brought tears to my eyes and Craig and Kristie's story so touched our hearts. But, it was when Craig said that there was a "little boy named Matthew waiting in China for his family", that the tears really flowed. Kristie said a wonderful prayer for us and we felt the love and support of all who were in the room. It was very moving and we love Dan and Susan for thinking of us!
We leave in 6 short days. We've heard that Matthew is excited about coming to America and has his family photo album out looking at it. He wanted to know if he or Grace was the older sibling. Ah, once again, just a preview of things to come. Oh Matthew, your life awaits you with a family who is already so in love with you!!!
