These pictures make me so happy I want to cry! Shonn and his grandpa spent the whole day in Grandpa's shop, making shelves for the baby out of wood from the family farm. It has obvious sentimental value, because Shonn is the fourth generation of Hilds who would farm that ground, and also because it's such special time between Shonn and his grandpa. The shelves are also something Baby Girl will be able to keep forever. Love.
Today is just another example of why my husband is so wonderful that I can't believe he picked me. He is incredibly busy with work right now, but he took the whole day to go do this because he knew it would mean a lot to me. I know he enjoyed the time with his Grandpa, but I also know he did it to make me happy. He took Beckett with him to the farm, which is awesome because Beckett loves spending time with Papa Hild and rarely gets to see him. (He obviously loves spending time with Mee Maw, too, but we're lucky enough to see her more regularly.) That left me home alone for the first time in... I have no idea. It's the first time I've been alone at all, anywhere, since I drove to the doctor's office last Monday, the 25th. It was really quiet around the house, and kinda lonely!
The guys are on their way home now. Look for future posts of the finished product in Baby Girl's room!

| Grandpa makes the initial design at his workbench. He is an excellent woodworker. He made Beckett's crib, a table for his room, all the cabinets for his house, and the wood floors, too, including planing the wood! He is so talented! I really like this picture. |
