So, despite some doggie help, I have been finally finished work on
the mural. I can't believe it's done!
The painted Chinese characters is a proverb written by the upcoming baby's grandfather. Roughly translated it says,“In the pureness and innocence of childhood, true joy and happiness.”
This is my favorite part of the mural. The tree will be used as a growth chart, which is why the banner says, "Oh, how you've grown!" Originally it was going to include the baby's name but since that keeps changing, we decided to leave it out.
All in all the mural took about ten days to do. Ten, ten-hour days, mind you. I think I might have lost some weight in the process. I definitely lost sleep as you can tell from my haggard appearance. Haggard, but happy!

This is beautiful! It makes me want to spread out a blanket on the floor and have a picnic there. What a magical room for a lucky child!
GORGEOUS!
And, Grace, let me just say I think you are the most photogenic person in the history of the world.
Yes, I agree: haggard schmaggard! You look great. Slim, too.
