Monkeys in the bunks.

It's official ... we purchased the bunk beds today! (A sample picture is on the right.) After much searching and deliberating over the best layout, color, options, quality, etc., we settled on this great set from the old standby Sears. Over the past few weeks we've been to several stores to "test out" bunk beds. While Luke really liked the models with the slide option or even those resembling a fire truck or race car, we determined it was in the best interest of a peaceful night's sleep if we opted for something more traditional. In a few weeks (and after some assembly work), Luke will be super excited about his new room set-up ... and we can begin work on the nursery. Luke will start out on the bottom bunk at first, and then move on up once his brother is ready to share a room. Hopefully, there won't be too many squabbles down the road about who sleeps in the top bunk!
