Madison and Cade have something in common that not many cousins have. They have both lived in the same home and slept in the same nursery!

Within eighteen months, our whole family played musical houses and moved all around. My husband, Ed, and I built a new home next-door to our existing home and moved into it. Our daughter, Madison's mother, decided that she would like to remodel and live in our previous home(the home that she grew up in). Brett, as mentioned in an older post, was anxious to move back to Gooseneck, so he decided to buy Brandy and Clint's mobile home, and later build or buy a larger home.

Madison's nursery was decorated in "Winnie the Pooh", while Cade's nursery is decorated in "monkeys". The bedroom is very pretty and both themes complimented it quite well and make the room look totally different in the process! If Madison's nursery seems quite full of Winnie the Pooh, it's probably due to the fact that her MiMi was totally addicted to ebay at the time...it's not shown, but even the ceiling fan was Winnie the Pooh!

It was a little confusing for Madison immediately after the move. She still remembered living there and would toddle down to where her nursery used to be...Everyone has settled in nicely now, and Madison now has a big girl bed with lots of Dora stuff in it, because for about a year she was crazy about Dora!

Cade seems to be happy in his nursery jungle with all of his monkeys scattered about. It's a calm, peaceful atmosphere, which is Cade's personality right now. I can't help but wonder what character he will like when he grows older--Mickey Mouse, Handy Manny, Bob the Builder, perhaps Diego? I guess I will just have to wait and see...
