Big Night

In November of 2008, we told our children that baby #4 was on the way. They were thrilled! Both of our girls immediately started jumping around, squealing with excitement. Hunter stood on the couch and said, YES.... YES.... YES! He thought for a minute and then went on to say... it HAS to be a BOY!! There are already two girls in this family and just one boy so it HAS to be a BOY... I need a bunk bed!

He was disappointed when we set up the crib for baby Austin and has asked many times when we would get that bunk bed. We promised that someday we would.

Finally, that someday was today.

Jared is so busy with school and studying, I wondered when he would ever find the time to put these beds together. That is usually his thing, not mine. But, neither Hunter or I could wait another day. Hunter and I worked hard all afternoon and actually managed to get it done on our own.
Even Austin tried to help out.
This was Austin's first night in a big bed. I must admit, as exciting as it was to finally get those long awaited bunk beds, I wasn't so sure about putting that crib away. I'm not ready for my baby to be so big. Sigh....
Hunter, happy as ever!
Good night!
20 minutes later.
Yup, it's a big night! I sure love my sweet boys.

To begin with, I can't believe you and Hunter built them!! This will be your constant representation of how busy Jared was in school...that you had to build the bunkbeds, I'm so impressed! And Austin does look so big (well little because he's so little in a big bed), but big because he's sleeping in it!

Bunk beds are the best! My boys love them as well. I am so proud of you for putting the beds together yourself. I was lucky to have Mike's help before he started school to put them together. There's no way I could have done it myself. I'm very impressed!
