Meagan's Butterflies

We decided when we found out that Meagan was a girl that we wanted to decorate with butterflies. Or as my best friend in seminary taught me, chou chou. (Japanese for butterfly) Okay, I decided. :-) Anyway, it's taken awhile and moving to our new place to decorate with her butterflies. Thanks to Tiffany who threw us a great baby shower last October, we had butterflies with which to decorate. We've been working on it since we moved in, and we finally got it finished tonight. This is her side of the room that she shares with her brother Matthew. Eventually, once Daddy gets them built there will be shelves to the left of the quilt hanging on her wall. I know it's hard to see, but there are butterflies hanging from the ceiling over her bed as well. I think she will like to lay in her bed and look at them as they swing overhead. When the air comes on, they start flying a little bit too. Here's a better look at them from below. Meagan did spend a little bit of time this evening watching them as they flew above her, and we turned on her aquarium for some music to go along with it. She really seemed to enjoy staring at them. Here's more the way she sees them, sort of. At least they're up, and now she has her special colorful butterflies. Like her grandpapa, I think she really likes them and likes watching them. We can't wait til she grows up and can notice and enjoy the real thing.
