The Dresser
The Nursery has just been given the gift of a new dresser. This is no ordinary 
dresser, as we designed it ourselves. Nice!!
We wanted big drawers to hold big toys. The drawers needed to be easily removable so we can take them out and use them as toy holders in the play room. But what if one of the older babies started using it as a jungle gym and got crushed under mountain of toys and drawers? Above all we needed the dresser to be BIG to avoid the inevitable.
We waited four months for our dream dresser. It was worth the wait.
Monday the dresser arrived. It’s even bigger than we imagined. Made from some of the hardest wood in the world, it is so heavy that tipping over will never be a problem. The wicker drawers are hand woven and sturdy enough to take plenty of use and abuse from the little ones.
The babies love their new dresser. Maybe that’s because all their toys are in there. They play in the boxes and use them as a train or car. They empty them out and get in. They push them around. It’s a blast to watch all the playing going on.
At last, we have been able to organize the play room and we love it. No more storage problems. Best of all, I’m glad to report that we are all having a good time.

This makes me think of the time when our kids were small. We had gotten a new appliance (refrig- erator?). They had a ball playing with and in the corrugated shipping box it had arrived in. We were dismayed to hear of your malaria, Darlene. We hope you are recovering well. Fran has not been well. In addition to her medical problems, she has been suffering with depression and anxiety--she was in the hospital for 8 days at the end of January. She is now home, with new meds and therapy which we hope will help.
We want you to know that both of you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Carl & Fran
