Dr. Seuss in 'da crib!!

Maurene and Jay came to visit this weekend to deliver... The Crib!! This is the latest (and in my option, the greatest), masterpiece to come out of Grandpa Jay's workshop. Now the Dr. Seuss nursery is complete and ready for a baby! So Baby, what are you waiting for?!!
This was definitely a joint effort - Jay's crib is gorgeous, Mom made the adorable ABC needlework, and Erik and I found the "Oh the Places You'll Go" lithograph that's hanging over the crib. We even pulled a few pieces out of retirement. The porch swing holding our Dr. Seuss friends was made for the Rheutan girls by our family friends, the Greenwoods, when I was just kneehigh to a grasshopper. And the bear in the rocking chair was Erik's "waiting" bear - Mo and Jay's buddy as they awaited their baby's arrival.
Baby, I hope you like your room as much as we do!

  1. I love it! Now it just needs a baby. I especially love the saying "Knee high to a grasshopper." You've been down south for too long.

  4. The crib looks fantastic. I'm so glad I didn't even attempt to make one for Eamon. If I didn't just see Jay's crib, I'd say it was impossible to build one. Nice work, Grandpa!
