“eliza’s” room had become a dumping ground for clean laundry waiting to be put away, clothes that are too big or too small, and she would walk into it and say, “ohhhhhhhh messy…my woom ohhhhhhhhhhh messy.” well, we cleaned her room…brought toys up…she is so happy. when i showed her the room, i asked her whose bed it was and her reply was, “opa’s! oma’s!” she’s right: that’s where oma and opa sleep when they visit…eliza will sleep in there someday…we’ll keep her as long as she likes…but how fun it is to see her in her claim space…

p.s. some of you may recognize the window streamers:  they are from our wedding!
