Gabrielle's New Room

As we approach the arrival of Bug-A-Lug with lightning fast speed, we thought it was necessary to kick-up the speed of renovations of Gabrielle's new room...into high-gear. With Daryl working in Whistler all the time these days, we are so thankful for the endless and tireless help from grand-papa, who follows directions and written lists like a champion. All I have to provide is coffee and Dare Maple cookies. He's cheaper labour than the Chow!

G's reaction to her new room was I hoped it would be. Eyes wide, mouth open and just speechless as she gazed around taking it all in. Recently, I have added more flower wall-stickers (looks like flowers are growing everywhere) the window seat cushion was picked up today and will be installed, and there are a few more toys and books on the bookshelf that G has added over the last few days. Also, her mattress has arrived from California, so her bed is now nice and soft and she pretends to sleep for 30 second intervals before jumping out of bed and rushing off to do something else.

Although not part of her room, G and I were quite impressed with the "bird" that appeared on our back-yard fence one morning at breakfast time. I think it is a pheasant, but perhaps it is a grouse. I know it is too big to be a quail, and it was too smart to be a ptarmigan. So we went with "bird" and G was quite satisfied.
