Our Bundle of Peace

On November 24 at 6:55pm (CST) Paxton Edward Tippen was born weighing in at 7lbs 2 oz and 20in. Mom and baby are doing very well. He's got all 10 fingers and 10 toes and is very healthy. Right now we are loving spending time with him, that we sneak in between visitors and doctor checks. The timing was just perfect;' he came early, with the doctor we wanted, and in enough time for Preston's parents to come over the holiday.

First Shower Gift!

The UPS man brought a pleasant surprise today! (it wasn't the hard drive docking station that Preston was waiting for though) We received our first gift for the online shower! Thanks for the awesome gift Steve and Lauren!

We can't open it yet (and its just killing Aimee) :)

New Dresser / Changing Table

We searched high and low for the perfect baby dresser/changing table, but felt defeated after many stores and websites offered cute looking items at either sky high prices or cheap manufacturing. We finally found a gem at the local antique store (Aimee was in heaven) that was solid oak with lots of character. It was chipping and an ugly yellow so we refinished it.

We went with a crackle finish in hopes of keeping the antique look. The glass knobs are very classy and it will make a nice place to change diapers and store stuff.
