Showering with Love

Brent and I have been so blessed by how many people care for us and our child. We had 3 wonderful showers thrown for us and got everything our child will need. The following pictures are from one of our showers. Being the honoree its impossible for us to take our own pictures so these are some others took.

I made sure Brent wore his pink shirt in honor of our little girl. He wasn't a big fan of the pink until I told him how hot he was in it!! ;)

My wonderful sister-in-law Bethany did a great job getting everything together for the shower. All I have to say is... its a good thing I only have one brother because it would be hard for any other girl to mean as much as she does to me!! She's definitely my sister!!

 


The table that held the gifts spanned the room. This picture doesnt even cover half of them. Like I said, we are so blessed.




Lets see how short I can make this story. I want to say I was 13 years old when my granny passed away. She was my dads mom. She had cancer which had spread to her brain. They went in and removed the tumor and said there was a good chance that if she made it through the surgery she would be a vegetable. She made it through the surgery and the best news.. she wasn't a vegetable by no means. The bad part is she only made it a night after her surgery and then passed a blood clot and passed away. I remember the night she passed like yesterday. Me and my siblings were asleep at our house and I remember the phone ringing. My sister spoke with my mom who told her what had happened and she came to tell the rest of us. Our ever so quiet wind chimes went crazy that night and to this day I cant hear one without thinking of her.

My cousins and I had so much fun when we stayed at grannys house. Her house was surrounded by woods and we all preferred to be in those woods making up some game or trying to keep up with the boys. On the days we weren't allowed outside or when night time came we watched "The Velveteen Rabbit." It didn't matter how old you were.. when that TV came on we all watched. There is no telling how many copies of that movie she had to buy because I know we wore them all out. To my surprise my Aunt Kay ordered the movie, the book and "the" velveteen rabbit stuffed animal for Maelyn. It warms my heart to know that I can tell her about my granny and our memories and make her a part of it!! Thanks Aunt Kay! :)

This last picture is a picture of me and my cousin Rebekah. This is just to prove I really was the size of a cow!! Enjoy! :)
