Last Saturday, I was given a most special and wonderful "pink" baby shower! I am amazed and blown away at the thought of friends and family surrounding us at such a precious time AND giving us gifts to prepare for our little one! When I got home and surveyed all of the thoughtful presents and adorable pink things, I wept with gratitude. It's no mystery that Matt and I live on a tight, but comfortable, budget (he is a teacher, and I do stay home, after all!). So, as I began putting away all of Heidi's new things and realized we need nothing, I felt a sense of peace and thankfulness that surpassed understanding. I feel such intense relief and joy knowing that God ALWAYS takes care of our needs...He is so faithful.
Thank you, friends, for surrounding us with thoughts, prayers, gifts, and encouraging words at this priceless time in our family's journey. We love you each so very much!!
Here are some pictures of the shower:
This was one of Tobin's favorite things I brought home. He says he's making sure Heidi will like the Bumbo when she comes. What a good big brother...already looking out for his little sister!

Oh that picture of Tobin in the Bumbo is funny. I must say I'm a little disappointed that this blog entry didn't include pictures of the crib with your cute new bedding...but I guess I can wait. :)
