The old mural...

From when Danny was on his way, and our house was still just over 800 square feet. And he was our FOURTH baby, who was going to share the room with Mommy and Daddy (they all did anyway). I wanted to give him a special corner, so I painted this above where the "glorified toy holder" (i.e. "crib") was going to be. There were also glowing stars hanging from birch branches hanging from the ceiling. We didn't have a lot of money or real estate, but we were creative.

Now Aaron has that room, and at fifteen, says the bird is lame, so it was painted over with recycled paint last week. Took this for the memories. Glad to have a bigger house now, but it wasn't that terrible when we didn't.
