And he shall be called...

This is probably the last of the home improvements that I will be posting for awhile. We actually did these ones before Max's surgery. Just getting around to blogging them.
We hung crown molding in our master bedroom. Sorry! These were the best before pictures that I had. (Note to self: Must remember to take decent before pictures!). We wanted to make our crown molding a little chunkier, so we consulted my uncle Ty for help. He suggested we could drywall over the orange peel texture, paint it and then sandwich that between 2 pieces of crown molding for a thicker look. Make sense?  (You can see our drywall mud up in the left pic).


Again…not the best before. This is actually our master bedroom from a few years ago, but you get the basic idea.

 


Placed a little more art work,etc. in the nursery.


(Got the cutest blanket from my sister in law Ashley! She's so good at giving gifts and tasteful ones at that. Wish I shared that gift.)

 


Notice anything specific? Maybe like, the letter C? Yes, this "C" indicates that we have decided on a name! And the baby shall be called….


Chaz James Guerra.
Chaz.
We seem to have a tradition going where the 1st name is something we think is cute. We both liked Chaz. And as an added plus, it's a derivative of Charles & Chad (Chad is named after his grandpa Charles Guerra).

The middle name we like to have more meaning behind it.
James.
Chad's grandpa Smith was named James. He served his country in World War II. He died while Ashley and me were on our mission in Spain. It was a heartbreaking time for Ashley and the rest of the family. He was adored by all of Chad's family.
James also has meaning on my side of the family. James Wilkins was my great great (I'm not sure exactly how many greats actually) grandpa who was the first Mormon convert on my Wilkins side. He joined the LDS faith during the Nauvoo era of the church and later made the trek out west and became a early Mormon settler out there.
