Visiting the Parents in Waiting

Today, we're visiting Joe and Ashley--and Lexie--at their new home in Macomb. They prepared a beautiful breakfast for us: crepes with fresh fruit and homemade whipped cream (two kinds, one with cinnamon and one without).




And the next treat was watching Joe and Ken (mostly Joe) putting together a new bookshelf for the baby's room. (In the background you can see Isla's bassinet, a gift from Grandma Denise complete with the beautiful eyelet skirt from Ashley's own bassinet.)






















Well, Ken did help, finally....


And...the finished product:


Mommy took care of the aesthetics...


And, the final look:


Grandpa looked over Isla's wardrobe:

And Ashley and Joe obliged me with a display of the "I Love Mommy" and "Daddy's Girl" onesies.


Lexie seems indifferent to the new bookshelf but is very interested in sharing Isla's Sophie the Giraffe chew toy.

Back downstairs, Ashley shopped online for gliders and found one she liked while Joe worked on his page in Isla's ABC book. Here he is, staring at the blank paper. Hardest part of any project.


Later we met Denise and Rob at Osaka Hibachi Grill for a DEEE-licious carb-rich cook-at-the-table Japanese meal. 

It was a lovely day, and we look forward to many visits-yet-to-come with a little girl in the mix. See you soon, Isla!
