So far, we have found a beautiful wood picture box that is being custom painted in the nursery colors with a quote we picked out (that I obviously don't have memorized or else would repeat it here). Granny Annie also brought us a Beatrix Potter framed picture that was in my nursery that is being reframed to better suit the colors we are using. You could tell it was straight out of the seventies with an orange mat and bright yellow frame!
In MN this past weekend Grandma Gail pulled out Brian's baby book and other fun things she has collected over the years. When I saw this relic from Brian's esteemed academic career I knew it would be the piece de resistance of the nursery artwork. This gem is dated June 1, 1984 and was done on what we assume was one of Brian's last days in kindergarten.
In case you can't see it clearly...Brian Peterson
I want to go to

And at the top the teacher wrote, "I love it!"
My favorite part is that you can tell the teacher put the assignment up on the board like, "I want to go to first grade because..." and Brian copied that exactly and then things went down hill from there!!
I am so thankful that Gail was willing to part with this heirloom so that we can pass it along to our kids. What a great treasure to have!
