Ok - I wanted to post some photos of BabyM's room. I realize that her name is on the wall, but it won't show up on any search engine or anything.
This first is a broad shot of the wall:

On the left are two of BabyM's dresses from when she was really little. In the middle is her name spelled out in cloth letters hung on a length of twine with clothes pins. (I will be getting some smaller ones soon) Under that is a painting by my sister-in-law, Denise. She is an incredible artist. She also did the treasure map painting in BoyD's room. On the right is a picture of a paper doll set. Her crib bedding in doll dresses.
Another view of above:

This is a close up of Denise's painting:
Both these dresses and the paper doll print above are hung on some wooden drawer pulls that I found in a hardware store and covered with fabric. The hangers are ugly pastic ones, so I covered them with ribbon until I could find some others. I actually found some metal ones today that Brandon is going to spraypaint either silver or white. I'll then tie a little bow around them.
The best part is that aside from the painting and the print (both were gifts), I spent like $6-$8 on the whole thing. When I get back from my trip, I will finish the other wall, and post some more pics.

Finally, here are my sweet babies! BabyM just woke up (look...she is looking fatter!) and sweet BoyD sleeping with Brandon's boyhood stuffed dog.

Well, I don't consider myself very good at decorating, but this was one of those rare occasions when it turns out even better than I had imagined it. Even BabyM likes to be in her room better now. Any ideas on what color we should paint that wall? I am thinking some shade of green. We'll see.

So precious! Good job! I love that you used her dresses. I think I may have to copy that idea. =)
I would definitely go with a light shade of green for that wall. Can't wait to see more pictures! Hope you guys have a great trip.
i think lavender for the walls would be pretty.
You are so creative! The room looks great! I love the family pics, too! The pics are part of why I come, but I love hearing your heart as you share your life with us!
As for teaching pastors' wives, you are a pastor's wife. What have you learned? How do you support your husband? How do you deal with frustrations and expectations? Share your heart! The cultures may be different, but many of the challenges are the same. I know you'll do a wonderful job!
Love ya!

Wow! Looks great!
And she has a precious little face!
Actually the technology is already out there to scan for text in images in search engines. You should do a simple google search on reading text from images and you will already see that this is a reality.
