Over the weekend, DoT and I finally finished getting the nursery ready. We set up the second crib, I finished the bulletin board (for those of you still trying to figure out the names of our twins, these pictures will give it away), and we put up some really cute wall stickers given to us by our friend M.
None of the pictures show the stickers very well, but they're cute little butterflies, ladybugs, and flowers of different colours and sizes.
My sister P gave us the bear holding the balloons. And the little doll sitting on top of the shelves in this picture, was given to us by a friend at a shower on Saturday night. It's the only doll I've ever seen that is a Chinese baby. To the right of the doll is a little toy telephone -- another shower gift which, as I understand it, every kid needs. :-)
The list of things to do and buy is starting to shrink, finally. Good thing too, since this is our last week of work, and then we'll be heading to southern Ontario and flying out for Beijing next Wednesday. The pile of stuff we have started putting together, to pack for China, is getting ever larger though, and we're now starting to worry that we'll be able to fit it all into two suitcases.

Great pics! The room is adorable... Sorry to hear that we missed your shower on Saturday - we didn't know!! We'd love to help out with some of those final things on your list... I'll call you to find out more.
Thanks for posting - exciting stuff!

Hi K & A&E's Dad
Looks like I may not get a chance to see you before you head off to southern Ontario and then China. Hope you know that my very warmest best wishes go with you. Auntie 'Em can't wait for the four of you to get back home so she can begin her new career as executive babysitter!
Godspeed

Thanks, Auntie 'Em. We'll be taking you up on your babysitter services!
Hey, is that the cat in the first picture - checking out the cribs? I tell you, she is getting very suspicious - she probably wonders why you have bought her two new beds!?
The room looks lovely. The itinerary sounds fantastic! It's all just too exciting. Have a wonderful time. We will all be waiting at the airport..oh wait, no, we'll be waiting on your doorstep.
