I am Blessed!

As many of you know my husband William has an incredible gift of woodworking. The recipients of his talents are many (of which I am not included .... YET!!). When Alexis was born he decided that she needed a crib and dresser built by her Papa ... an amazing beautiful crib and dresser came out of the workshop. Alexis didn't have much to do with sleeping in her crib as it was not her favorite sleeping spot (next to mommy was much better in her opinion). That's okay because along came Taylor and she was more than happy to sleep in the crib. Well .... now that Taylor is almost 2 Papa once again went into his workshop and produced 2 beautiful twin beds for our adorable granddaughters. Let me tell you a house could probably fall of these beds and not destroy them. They don't move an inch once they were assembled.

Alexis was very excited when she heard Papa was building her a big girl bed .... every time they came over she would run to the shop to see Papa and her bed. It was fun to see her eyes light up during the process. Taylor was excited too but she just doesn't express it like her sister. When Heather was out shopping for new bedding and the sales clerks would ask if she is finding everything Alexis would tell them her Papa is building her a bed .... Heather said it was VERY CUTE. When I ask the girls how they like their beds Taylor gets a big smile and says PAPA!! They will be treasures for life for these two lucky girls. Next project out of Will's Workshop .... a dresser for Taylor (just like her sisters).

Those girls will always treasure those beds! They are beautiful (of course!) The girls are getting so big! They are even more beautiful than the beds!!!
