Cute graphic of Cedric Diggory from Harry Potter. I'm using this graphic to represent Cedric Shea, because he's not born yet. :)
The nursery furniture was put together by John and my dad. My mom and I watched. You should have seen all the styrofoam that John had to clean up afterwards. It was insane...not to mention the cats were covered in it, and they didn't like it being vacuumed off their bodies. Although, it was very entertaining!
Here is the crib with Winnie the Pooh characters all around to watch over Cedric, and to give him something to look at from his crib.
This wall is across from the crib. Here we have Cedric's armoire and changing table with a honey covered Pooh hanging out overhead.
Different angle of Cedric's room. You can see a part of the crib, and an elephant chair that Cedric can sit on when he is older.
My current add to Cedric's room. It's a Heffalump, and he is pulling a kite with Roo hanging on for the ride. I thought it would be cute to add a Heffalump to the room, because it goes well with the elephant chair and it's a character in Winnie the Pooh. This addition to the wall makes the mural complete!
Here is the elephant chair again...hehehee, so cute!
Here's a shelf I bought a Pottery Barn that was half off. I was originally going to put the books on it, but my dad said it would be too heavy and it could fall. I decided to put stuffed animals on it instead. I'm eventually going to buy wooden letters that spell Cedric, and I'm going to put those letters on the smaller ledge of the shelf. Currently, there are little animals sitting on it.
Here is the Winnie the Pooh lamp I bought at the Disney store before I was pregnant. It was such a good deal that I couldn't pass it up. I also have a sailor Pooh from eBay, and a Heffalump dressed up as a pirate. The little baby in the blanket was a gift from my parents. They bought the figurine while on a recent trip to Alaska.
This picture wraps up what Cedric's room looks like. He is going to love spending time in here looking at all the cute pictures of Winnie the Pooh and his friends.
The room represents the different seasons! I've been working on this room on and off since I've been trying to get pregnant. It took me awhile, because I worked on it in stages. Finally, it's complete! :)
I thought this was a cute picture, so I put it on my blog. :)
In a little over four days, John and I will be in NY having lots of fun and getting fat on turkey. :)
Happy 30th Birthday to my sweet, Boo Boo. We met up with some friends at Cinzzetti's to celebrate. We had lots of fun gorging on deliciousness!
From left to right: Me, John, Aaron, Adriana, Shawn, Kevin, Sean(a.k.a. Mobat), and Athena
I bought John a Killer Bunnies t-shirt and four expansion packs. I also bought him a Beeker stuffed doll, but he left him at work to hang out with his Dilbert. When I went to see John for lunch at work, I brought him a balloon with Beeker in a bag. Everyone knew after that, that it was John's birthday. hehehehe
How cute! John and I snuggling for the camera.
Today is my Boo Boo's birthday. He is turning 30 today, and we are going to first celebrate with lunch to NY deli. Later on, we will be having fun at one of our favorite restaurants...Cinzzetti's. Here he is with his birthday twin and furry nephew, Brewster Pugsley. I'll write more later about our day!
Baby Cedric and I dedicate this song to the man we love:
Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World
lyrics by: Israel Kamakawiwo Ole'
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dream of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dream of
Dreams really do come true
Someday I wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemondrops
High above the chimney top
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dare to
Oh why oh why can't I
Well I see trees of green and red roses too
I'll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Well I see skies of blue and
I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
and also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands saying
How do you do
They're really saying I, I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow
They'll learn much more then we'll know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
world...
Someday I wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemondrops
High above the chimney top
That's where you'll find me
Oh somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dare to
Why oh why can't I...
Melody
The message was real,
On that full moon November day.
Your small body had given up,
The pain was planning to stay.
I looked at your glazed eyes in fear.
It was your time to fly~~
My weakness overcame me with each tear.
The wetness flooded my face with each word of goodbye.
I lost my sweet song on that first of November.
My furry friend went on,
I can't help but remember~~
That you are really gone.
This is a poem I wrote for my cat Melody who died November 1, 2001. I wrote the poem for a class on April 22, 2002. I still find it sad that she is really gone. I still have her sister Harmony, but I feel like a void is missing for her and me. We have Cimbi to fill that emptiness, but it's not the same. John and Cimbi would have loved Melody. She was a great cat! Very sweet girl! Goodbye my friend!
