Elizabeth's new room

While the kids and I have been staying at my parents' house helping out with laundry, food, getting dishes in the dishwasher, Phillip has been working on our house. He refinished the steps, again, for the LAST time. Praise you Lord! And he also painted Elizabeth's room. Elizabeth has been sleeping in what used to be David's room with blue and green stripes. Phillip changed all the stripes to purple and pink and also painted all the trim, windows, closet doors white! It looks very cheery and girly now! The beautiful bedding was passed on to us from my friend Emily. Thank you Malone's!
I am still going to look for letters to paint that spell "Elizabeth" I would like to find "Elizabeth Faith" but the letters are pretty expensive and she already has a long name :) Also, the Lion and the Lamb painting is David's so I would like to find her one. I would love to find one of a little girl dancing or twirling.
I thought I would include some recent pictures of her too. She has become a very easy baby when she is rested. We have a hard time getting in the morning nap as we are often out and about and so sometimes she gets overtired, but we are working on it. It is just so hard to stay in the house all morning with David. He has so much energy we have to get out at least for awhile before nap and so then she often falls asleep out, and then has only a short nap and refuses to go back down that cycle. Today it happened when we were at the library and playing in what David calls the "mountain" (fountain). Yes, it was cold, but he didn't care! One day I will remember to take my camera!

I love it and your husband did a great job painting!!! I wish I could get excited about painting rooms!

I have some great pink and yellow ballarina pictures that I found on art.com - I will have to let you know the artist. They are perfect for a little girlie.

Suggestion on the name for the wall - find the lettering you like and we can cut it out of real wood. I did it for ally and added ribbon to it. It didn't take too long!``
