First day of the year!

We had our first visitor for the new year! Our friend Danny, who used to live in Virginia but now lives in the Bay area, visited us. It was his first time to meet Eleiana. Danny is Mommy Jarbs' good friend. He was one of the first few people who "caught" me and Daddy Jarbs dating. We bumped into him in the restaurant during our second date. Little did we know that 7 years later, we'll have our little Eleiana. 

 

We went to Chinatown for lunch where Danny treated us in our favorite Chinese restaurant, Full Kee. After that, we walked around Gallery Place and showed Danny the new places which he hasn't seen since he moved out of DC.

When we got home, we did our little family project. We captured Elle's cute hand and footprints on canvas on this special day...01.1.11. 

 

 

Baby Jarbs' nursery project begins..

With only ~3.5 months left before Baby Jarbs' arrival, Daddy Jarbs and I are now in full baby planning mode. We got a long to-do list so we're tackling each task one by one.

The nursery project has officially started. The 2nd guest room will now be Baby Jarbs' nursery. Today, we got rid of the queen bed which was in that room. Thanks to our friend Patty who have offered to adopt the queen bed and armoire. The closet in the said room is unfinished so Daddy Jarbs is working on getting that done.

For the nursery design, Daddy Jarbs wanted to incorporate something Hawaiian (surprise, surprise!). I wanted a more contemporary look. After some research and discussion, we've settled with the following color palette for the nursery:

The crib and dresser that we plan to have in the nursery will be in espresso finish so that will give the room a more contemporary look. I'll post pictures as the nursery project progresses :-).
