Three years in the making...and the newest Winters' family member!

No, not our baby boy...he's not here quite yet :)

About the first half of the blog title: when Brett and I married, we bought a house within six months, so a lot of our big purchases were postponed. One of those was a new bedroom suite for ourselves. We have been living with a hodgepodge collection of furniture in our master bedroom that we have not been very fond of. Don't get me wrong, I love my great-grandmother's armoire, just not paired with Brett's veneer dresser from college! Also, Brett promised me we would have a headboard (he even considered making one out of cedar posts). Before the upgrade:

Um, yeah...you can see why we were ready for new furniture!!

So, after looking around for at least the last six months, we FINALLY bought a new bedroom set from Weir's Furniture in Plano (thanks, Sharon, for the recommendation!). We got a super-great deal, and we love it! We feel so spoiled now to have matching bedroom furniture :)

Ta-da! Our dogs are not so fond of it, though...with a platform bed, they can no longer sleep underneath!

And about the newest member of the Winters' bunch...this past weekend we headed up to Lawton, OK, to meet our newest niece. Layne Rene Winters was born Saturday night to proud parents, Bryn and Jared. She was 10 days late, so you can imagine that everyone was very anxious to meet her!!
