It is DONE!!!

After a number of Saturdays the mural is complete. I think the pictures can do most of the talking (remember you can turn on the captions by clicking the text bubble in the bottom left). I think I worked the jungle thing just right - bright & happy, very baby friendly. As I was finishing up I thought more about the pirates and decided that when he is 5 we can paint some pirates (or just turn the monkeys into pirates) if he'd like. I'm pleased with the final product and Jill says she loves it.

We've both been doing really well. Today we got back together with Jill's co-worker Jen, who is also a professional photographer, to select a couple of the shots she took a couple of weeks ago. We picked two that she'll print for us as a most excellent baby gift.

The time is just flying and the excitement is certainly building around the house. I can see those "nesting" instincts begining to blossom in both of us. The crib should be coming in toward the end of this week or early next, so Master Heimburg better not show up before then.

Enough jibber jabber - on to the mural! Enjoy
