"After" Nursery Photos

Today my mom and her good friend Pat came to paint a mural in the nursery. It turned out absolutely adorable! Pat is a teacher at my mom's school, but she is also a talented artist. She has painted several murals in my mom's school as well as my parents' old house and the house they currently live in. She wanted to paint in Will's room as a gift to us. How awesome is that!
We had originally decided that we did not want a themed nursery, but because we were both athletes we did want sports to be in the room. When we told her that she was able to incorporate a football, baseball, glove and a golf club into the mural, she was also able to put in other items that reflect Mike and I as well. She included a small UGA flag and a frog for Mike, and a portrait of Gracie and some books for me. We love the mural and feel as though it has helped to complete Will's room. Thank you Pat! You have blessed our home and helped make our nursery so cozy and cute. It is now ready for Will!
My mom decided to put in Will's name into the mural. She then decorated the letters to look like the bedding.

A frog is painted on top of the ball. Mike works at a golf course called the Frog.

I also need to brag on Mike. He spent last weekend painting the room. He did it by himself and did an incredible job. He painted three walls a pale blue and one wall brown.
Our friend Jay is going to come and paint Psalm 127:3, "Sons are a heritage from the Lord", over the crib.
