Pictures of the Nursery



Please note that the nursery is still a work in progress, but here's a few pictures of what Tim and I have accomplished so far. In the first picture, you'll see the crib with the bedding "Angelica" that we purchased from Babies r us. In the second picture you'll see the new curtains and valance with the 30 year old rocking chair that my parents rocked me in when I was a baby. We also added four white shelves in the room, just to place nic nacs. And no those dinosaurs won't be staying there. They have been put up there, because Josie and Roscoe think those toys are for them.

In the third picture, you'll see the changing table from JCPenny's and the "Miracles come in small packages" decal that I ordered from www.etsy.com. And the last picture is really Tim's handy work at it's best. The baby's room is a tad bit bigger then our full bathroom. He has a very big closet. As one of my friends said "She'll need all that closet space for all the cute little outfits she'll be wearing". Anyway, Tim added the closet orangizer. I'm so proud of him for working so hard on the room. We have a few extra things to add to the room, like the baby's name that will be hanging and a few pictures and decals too.

The Prime Rib

On Friday night Tim and I went to dinner with Jen and Dan at the Prime Rib in Baltimore (Mt. Vernon area of town). After reading several reviews online and checking out the Baltimore Restaurant week menu, we decided to try the Prime Rib. If your not aware of BRW, twice a year once in the summer and once in the winter Baltimore restaurant host a week of economy friendly meals to the general public. The first year, Tim and I started checking out BRW, there was only about 30 or so restaurant participating, but now there is over 80 restaurants. For lunch you can purchase a 3 course meal for $20.09 and for dinner a three course meal for $30.09.

So on Friday night we arrived at the Prime Rib and decided to have our vehicle valet parked (because there was no street parking in the area and no parking garage in site). We arrived about 20 minutes early and waited in the Bar for Jen and Dan. I wore a skirt and a cute top and Tim dress pants and a button down shirt. Usually this place requires jackets. Well once we arrived, we noticed that the wait staff was wearing tuxes and the men and women were dressed to a T. Um, yeah do you feel under dressed. By the time dinner was over with a younger crowded was in full swing of the place. Tim ordered house salad, the prime rib and creme brulee, I ordered Caesar salad, filet and creme brulee. Jen ordered house salad, salmon and creme brulee and Dan got Caesar salad, prime rib and Key Lime Cheesecake. Yum. We had a great time talking and enjoying ourselves. I think next year, we are going to just check out a place with less of dress code.
