A Little Art Project for the Baby

First off, I think I ought to officially announce to my dear blog readers that we have decided on a name for our baby bean: Jonathan Augustine Flores. Jonathan is after my dad, John. Augustine is from Danny's mom's side of the family. We wanted to honor those we love with our new son's name (along with having strong meanings behind the name).

Now for my recent project. While Danny brought baby items down from the attic, I got to work on some new art for the nursery. Inspired by this painting, I pulled out a canvas I had picked up at a sale a few months ago and got to work.

Here is the finished product:

(And since I already had the paint and brushes, the only cost for this artwork was the $5 I paid for the canvas...not too shabby!)

There is another wall in the nursery that could use some art, so I am brainstorming ideas for that area. The nursery is coming together though (notice that the mobile is up now), and things are feeling more and more real! For now, I am just going to thoroughly enjoy my time alone with my little Christian (and will nest / prepare for Jonathan after Christian's bedtime). Life is good!
