We were honored to be invited to a shower for a couple of April and Mike's friend Friday night at Brinktown. I have become acquainted with Beth through April and found she grew up in the Vichy area and I know her family. She got married not far from us on the same road as our son Todd lives.
This couple has had a hard time carrying a pregnancy to term. We were all so delighted when Beth seemed to be doing so well with this precious baby but that all changed in August when Beth's health and the baby Julia were both at risk. Baby Julia was born two months early and only weighed a little over a pound. Due to many prayers, modern miracles and the parents love, this little girl has come a long way and got to come home a couple weeks ago. She seems to be doing very well and Mom and Dad are handling everything in stride, along with moving into their new home just in time for Julia to come home. The whole community is overjoyed for them.
These cute little butterflies made out of diapers were on the tables. Leave it to my husband to open one up and use as a napkin!! He thought that was what they were for......... Oh, well, it worked! lol
If you've ever been around my husband, he is absolutely crazy about babies and children in general.
Luckily Lindsay wasn't offended when Abigail started to fuss a little and he just picked her up out of her carrier and started walking around with her. Seemed to work as she settled on his shoulder and went right to sleep. I think he would have walked with her the whole time we were there if she hadn't woke up and got hungry. You can see the joy on his face. I can't imagine how happy Dwayne will be when we are blessed with grand babies. (I might be just a little overjoyed as well............) I can see people running the other way when they see us as we won't shut up with all of our grand baby stories. lol
We really had a good time visiting. Dwayne didn't know many of the people there but soon became acquainted. Especially with the parents of small children as he tried playing with the toys with them or holding any baby available.
I am grateful for Doug and Beth's joy and the opportunity to share in this event.
