Our new rocking chair

My mom bought us a new rocking chair in anticipation of the many hours we will spend feeding our new baby and rocking her to sleep. She found it at her favorite place - the Huntington Collection - an antique store that gives proceeds to Huntington Hospital. It turns out that the chair has a pretty cool history and it's nickname is the "Kennedy Rocker." JFK had one in the oval office due to back problems and he also brought one whenever he flew on Air Force One. Pretty cool? We think so. More importantly, I hope Jocelyn will like the chair. :)

I love this chair! I looked and looked for the perfect one but in the end just settled for some plywood piece of junk from BigLots.

I love this blog by the way- it's got a great look. I took a little break from the internet but am looking forward to keeping up with you two in the bloggity way these days!

That is a pretty cool picture of JFK sitting in the chair. I am impressed!
