Ira's Nursery

With the leadership of Phyllis and entertainment by Claire, the nursery is in good shape! We still need to buy a glider/rocker for the corner and maybe hang one more thing on the wall, but it is shaping up. I am so glad we decided on the Dr. Seuss theme. I haven't seen this done so it is pretty unique. I love the colors and I am cheered up by just going in the room.

Okay, Ira, NOW we are ready.....you can come now. :)

Love, Mom

Mirasa Design

Ira's two new wristbands from Mirasa Design came in yesterday! Mirasa Design is founded by Aashumi Shah and started in 2009. Even though hers was a start up company, she contacted Room to Read and asked to commit to donating a percentage of sales toward Room to Read's mission. I met Aashumi through the contract review, fell in love with her products, and was her first purchase under the Room to Read contract for my niece, Magnolia.

Mirasa means "heritage". Aashumi began Mirasa after making some toys for her niece's 1st birthday that were soft, would stimulate her sense of imagination and play and also came with a cloth bag that her niece could carry around with her.

I love the concept and Aashumi is a beautiful soul. She has been so supportive of the story of "Ira" and is my long distant pen pal :).

So, we added the wristbands to the floor pillow for his room. The giraffe is in the hospital baby bag, packed ready to go whenever a call comes. I hope his room is filled with all the Fun Toys before too much longer - To check out my favorite artist, go to www.mirasadesign.com

Love to all,

What a weekend! Ira's room is painted (so beautiful) and is his armoire, dresser drawers and crib/changing table is in the room. So, so sweet. Waiting on Phyllis..well, trying to...to come over to decorate.

Laundered all his newborn clothes and diapers, packed a baby bag and suitcase and put in the corner of my room with his car seat. Ready to go!! Just waiting on "the call". In the interim, it is time to get everything else in order~

Awwww - Diaper 27 arrived today and Ira's room is being painted :)

Ira's swing just arrived! I can't wait for the painter to finish tomorrow on the room and start getting everything in there and situated. :)

Our princess already left for the ball ("Prom") - She looks stunning~

We traveled to El Dorado, found the salon and she had her hair styled and makeup applied. We caught lunch with her date at a local Asian restaurant and then checked into our hotel so she could relax before the evening festivities.

We took these photos at the hotel. I look forward to seeing the photos from the country club.

She had a really fun evening!

We went to the opening game for the Arkansas Travs tonight with Haley and her friend Ethan. It was fun - dodging balls and trying to get mustard...LOL
We did find Kit and Ronnie (rather they found us) and we were able to all catch up which was awesome!

Ira, next season, it's you and me kid!!! :)
