Final Farewell to the Crib

My sis in law gave us this crib when Jay and I started talking kids in 2003...it was Makayla's crib and Max is now going on 16 years old!  Now, after having been through three boys and several military moves, it's broken, battered and ready for retirement.  It was bittersweet to take it down for the final time, but new beginnings are good and I am looking forward to getting out of the baby stages once and for all.  Trev was probably ready way before now, but mom wasn't!  He is my last baby and I am in no hurry.  Here are a few pics of the crib through the years...

I bought this toddler bed awhile back and its just been sitting in the box.  So the day after returning from Nebraska, I got to work, put it together and he napped in it that afternoon.  Trev has always been my best sleeper so I was really worried that this would screw everything up, but as usual, he slept just fine and we have had no issues.  My baby is growing up...

Success!
