Our newest addition

With Tobin and Whitney moving out and all the new babies in my family, Gavin and I were feeling like we needed something more in our house. So without further ado, please meet the newest addition to the Giraud family:

Yes, I am referring to the tv. :) After 4.5 years of marriage we finally own a television. Gavin is pretty excited about it, and I will admit that I have enjoyed watching movies on it, which is all we can do since we don't have cable (thank you Netflix. Your nominal monthly fee and wide array of movies and shows makes me happy).

I'm also quite happy about the "console table" it's sitting on. I scored that from craigslist looking like this:

And with my mother-in-law's advice I painted it green with a walnut stain over the top to help bring out some of those fun details. I took the tv picture with my ipad and it has a terrible camera so it's hard to see how pretty it is. The stain brings out the nooks and crannies perfectly. I love it! Some of the drawers stick a little now because of the paint, but that's ok because it just means Emery can't get in there. :) 

A tv is definitely not as exciting as a baby announcement would be, but that is unfortunately not happening for us now. On the plus side, lots of testing and procedures have told us nothing appears to be wrong with either of us so we're hoping another child makes their way to our family soon. Emery will be such a good big sister. Hopefully it happens in the next year or Gavin might get antsy again and make another big purchase. :)
