The Rooms

When we found out we were pregnant Mark and I went back and forth about what do to as far as rooms- should we keep the boys separate or move both into the bigger room and just add a crib? We decided since Parker was already settled into a good sleep pattern it would be best to keep them apart for now with the intent of putting them in the same room later down the road. So, since Parker was the oldest we felt he should get the biggest room and ended up doing a new room for him and putting Jonathan in Parker's "old" room. (What 8 month old already gets a new room and new furniture?) Here are some pics of both.

Jonathan's Room

We went with a storybook theme since at the time we were going through the adoption process, we had no idea if we would be matched with a boy or girl.
The crib is the same crib my niece and nephew used.


I used my old books and character from teaching school to decorate.

Parker's Room

We chose more of an older looking sports themed room so in the future we can move the crib out and put in bunk beds! This made Mark happy.

The bedding was the same bedding used in my nephew's room.
