Our little girl's name is...

This has been by far the most difficult part; picking a name for our baby girl. Granted, we still have 3 months to go before we meet her but we wanted to be able to tell friends and family what her name was going to be. I liked probably too many names and Keith had a favorite from the beginning. We wanted to have a family name incorporated and after thinking for what seemed like forever, our little girl's name is ANNA MICHELLE DENTON. Whew, it feels great to be able to say that! Anna comes from my family (actually both my mom and dad's side...here's a little of my family's history. We are related to Anna Raguet, who was once courted and almost married Sam Houston. My middle name (and my dad's middle name) is Raguet and Harriet's is Anna - I think she got the better end of that deal! On my mom's side, there are a set of twins that date back many generations named Harriet and Anna so the name Anna has a lot of family history plus it is beautiful.)

Michelle is Keith's sister's (Julie) middle name and we thought the names together had a nice little ring to it. :)

So, now that the cat is out of the hat, I wanted to share a project I made last week. I drug Keith out to the McKinney Trade Days two weeks ago (kind of like Canton but really small) and we picked up with old window for a steal of $10. It had potential written all over it but just needed a little love and some white paint.

Before...

After scraping off some of the paint that was peeling off, and a little sanding, this window got a fresh coat of paint, modge-podged wood letters with scrapbook paper, spray painted dragonflies and drawer pulls from World Market, I had this as a finished product to hang in the nursery. It turned out SO cute!

There is a serious glare from the ceiling fan/light, so I promise it looks better in person!

While at the McKinney Trade Days, Keith and I found these giant dinosaurs priced at "only" $4500 and had to take a picture to send to Pierce. He absolutely loves dinosaurs, especially T-Rex, and while we were in Singapore, it was all he could talk about. After sending this picture to Camille, Pierce had her print it off for him so he could hang in his room...too cute.
