I was so very excited when Justin's mom and sister offered to host a shower for baby boy Stinson, or Tiny Tim as we affectionately call him (thanks to Hadley). I thoroughly appreciated taking some time just to focus on this sweet new life. And getting "blue" presents, as opposed to the pink that I've been so accustomed to for the past couple of years, was so much fun!
Jill and Cathy's diaper tricycle. Is this not too cute? They said the handle bars were definitely the trickiest part. I think a lot of laughter was involved when they were putting this together. Love this!
The beautiful quilt Justin's grandmother, Ma, made. Notice it even won a blue ribbon at a quilt show! Little man is already a winner! Actually, the quilt she made for Hadley before she was born also won a blue ribbon. Oh how I love handmade gifts. The time and effort people put in to them is so very special.
After gift-opening, we enjoyed a delicious cake from Glasgow's finest: Sweetheart Bakery. It was heavenly.
So thankful for these sweet ladies taking the time to celebrate Tiny Tim. Words cannot begin to express how blessed I feel when I think about being a mommy to these two little lives. So thankful for God's faithfulness!

Jill and Cathy hosted the brunch at Hall Place Bed and Breakfast, here in Glasgow. It is a beautiful, historical building built in 1852. We were able to tour the downstairs of the B & B, oohing and aahing over the antiques and collectibles. Justin and I love our current home and how it meets the needs of our family, but we do miss the character of the 1902 home we lived in. That's something I really appreciate.
Although the food was delicious, the time itself was so very special to me. Six weeks exactly to D-Day. A pause in these loooong 7 1/2 months thus far, to celebrate baby boy and anticipate his arrival. We had been telling Hadley that I would be leaving for a little while to celebrate baby brother. She said, "you gonna sell baby brother?" Whoa, sweetie...no black market here. We practiced the word "celebrate" for awhile;The beautiful quilt Justin's grandmother, Ma, made.
