The chair that Ben made

One of the perks of being married to a carpenter and all-around handyman are the handcrafted items in our home. 

This weekend, Ben brought home his latest creation -- a rocking chair he made for Baby V's room. The upholstery was done by Ben's sister, Nicole. Pretty talented bunch, right?

I am really looking forward to the times ahead for me and baby in that rocking chair. The feedings, the reading of bedtime stories. Although, I might not be so excited when baby is hungry at 3 a.m. Still, there is something very special, I think, about rocking a child to sleep in the chair made by his/her Dad. *cue heightened pregnancy emotions here*
