Project Mania: Bird Mobile

Long ago I mentioned a family project in progress, the Bird Mobile

It was conceived as a glimmer of an idea. 

Was grown over time...

and invitations were sent out to grandmothers, aunts, friends that are nearest to family as you can get. 


Then they began to arrive. One by one. 
From:
Ohio
Michigan
Virginia
Illinois
So- Cal

Branches were meticulously chosen. 
Engineering was discussed in length with Grandpa Mike. 

And then the real task began. Construction was at times frustrating and confusing. 
I left it once or twice. The experience stretched me. 
But it all came together beautifully. 
TA DA!
  

The top branch are all of the 2nd Aunties (the greats, the honoraries)

On one side are all of Dom and my aunts..

Aunt Lynda is up there on top
 
Aunt Suzanne, Aunt Nancy and Aunt Patti

On the other side are all the Honorary Aunties:
 
Kendra and Stacey


Jen, Laura and Rach are all cuddled together.

 
And his Aunt Rachelle is the next tear down, on her own little branch.

Then come the grannies.

His Great Grandma LuLu

and His Grandmas Terri and Cheryl.

  And the closest to his little face, of course is his mama!

Here is his point of view. 

It was an awesome experience. And I am so incredibly blessed by each person that took the time to send in a bird. THANK YOU for your love and excitement for this little one!
