Once upon a time...
9/03/2009 | Author: jefferies
Once upon a time...before my life was completely changed:

 
these two kids took swimming lessons, learned a lot, had a lot of fun!  (I totally LOVE these kids!)
I sat in the bleachers, watching them...and hoping that I wouldn't have the baby before the two week session was over.  (I had the baby 3 days after it ended).


I painted the nursery this lovely shade of green and decorated with a botanical-woodsy theme.
(cute, huh?)
 
And now we've turned her little crib into a shrine.  It seemed appropriate to me to put her picture in the crib.  It almost looks like she belongs there.
One more explanation on "The Wood Between the World": I first got the idea for this theme when we were driving back to Oregon after the funeral and burial.  I was thinking about what I was going to do with the stuff in the nursery, when the idea of "The Wood" brought me peace and comfort.  I am going to turn her room into "The Wood Between the Worlds", until the room is needed again.

What a beautiful job you have done on that nursery. I think it is a lovely place to be to commune with Elsa whenever you want to.

People would tell me how hard they thought it must have been for me to lose Winnie, but I told them that at least I knew beforehand. At least I didn't have a nursery to come home to and have to figure out what to do with it. I like that you will use it as a shrine. I think that is a wonderful, healthy, healing thing to do. You made it so beautiful.

So beautiful! She is a perfect baby! I felt so close to heaven at camp, being surrounded by His creations. I love the crib set you picked out, so peaceful and very fitting for the sanctuary it is for your family.
