So I've been mulling a nursery theme over & over in my mind. Nothing was coming to me. I didn't want anything too cutesy...it's just not much our "style" and I wanted it to be something that the child won't "outgrow" quickly. Plus, I wanted it to be versatile...something that could go great for a little boy or a girl. I don't sound picky at all, do I?!
Just recently a thought popped into my mind. When Jake came home from overseas, he brought me back a wooden statue. It's not much bigger than the palm of my hand, but it means SO much to me. There is a large elephant in the middle with 2 smaller elephants, one on each side, and then encircling all of them are 4 tiny elephants. I remember thinking when he gave me the gift, "This is us...God in the middle, Jake & I, and 4 babies someday." When I think about the little wooden sculpture now, I think it's the best idea I have had for a nursery theme!
So, we're hoping to put some apple green paint on the walls, and maybe some elephants to make it a special place to bring our baby home to someday!
