Jude's Room

I finally got the nursery finished, well as finished as things get around here and I wanted to put up a few pictures.

My aunt Charla made the greatest curtains that match Jude's bedding perfectly. I am so thankful to have them. The curtains complete the room and I love the way they shade most of the light in the afternoon making it easy for Jude to nap.

Here are the curtains!

Jude's crib and dresser. I love the black finish on the furniture.

Hannah made this frame for Garrett for Christmas. I got a picture for it yesterday! I love it.

Jude hanging out on his changing mat with his octopus that entertains him while I change his diaper. Thanks again Minna!

These are the animals I have in his crib. I love the huge while duck.

These are the animals above his crib. My two favorites are the giraffe and the turtle. The bear with the trout is pretty cool too!
And yes those are real deer antlers. They are from the buck Garrett shot two years ago.
The life of a Higerd Wife.
(Hey I like the phrase, perhaps you'll be seeing more of it around here...)

So that's Jude's room.

In other news, Jude has his two month check up tomorrow. He is scheduled to get the first round of his vaccinations but I need some more information before we decide what to do. Neither Garrett or I hold the idea that if we vaccinate then we are somehow not trusting God enough, but I just want to be informed before we put a bunch of chemicals into out teeny tiny little boy. So if anyone has any information please pass it along.

But the most exciting thing is that Friday night late we are headed down to Capistrano Beach to visit with Mari and the girls for a week! I am so excited to see them and to meet Annabelle. It will be so fun to play with the cousins. Walks, playing at the park, and adventures like this, and this... It will be a blast!
