I needed to send thank you cards for Nathan's birthday guests, and I could not find the simple construction-theme thank you card I had in mind, so I decided to make one instead.

#64 Will’s Big Boy Room.
Long before Andrew and I were trying for our second baby, we started the transition for Will to move into his big boy room.
