LOVE this train!

My son's room has always been decorated with trains!  We chose this theme when I was pregnant with him, because it can grow with him and has a special meaning behind it.  My grandfather, father, and father-in-law all retired from the railroad.  Growing up I heard all about the railroad!  When decorating Gavin's room, I chose things that didn't look to babyish so that he wouldn't outgrow it too quickly.  A friend told me about this old abandoned train which isn't far from my parents house and I am so happy that she did!  I took Gavin down there to check it out and snapped quite a few pictures of him.  He really wasn't feeling well that evening so I made the decision to get a different shirt for him to wear and take him back.  Well... I LOVE this train so much I ordered a large metal picture for his room and am SUPER excited for it to arrive!

This is the one I chose for his wall!  How cool is this going to be in his room?!
