Alas, we had to head out sooner then we would have liked, as one of us got to feeling very sick, but we were so grateful for the honor of the time that we did get to spend at this joyful occasion.

May God bless Andy and Brittany greatly as they seek Him, and as they continue to follow down the narrow path together as man and wife. Praise the Lord!

The Celebration of Carlos Phinehas

A few weeks ago, we all gathered at the R.'s home for our darling nephew Carlos' baby shower, and what a wonderful time we had! We enjoyed delicious food, fun games, laughter, looking at lovely gifts, holding babies and just being together as we rejoiced over Carlos Phinehas Morton...God bless you, little man! The beautiful spread...Bienvenidos, Carlos!
Sweet Mrs. K. We played this hilarious game of clothes-pin collecting-if you caught someone crossing their legs, you got to have their pin, and who ever had the most pins at the end of the afternoon got a prize-LOL, it was fun... I think Becka's winning.. ;)

Ron's Celebration

Hey, y'all!!
Ah, what a joy our precious Ron is...Our third grandchild, he is a fluffy bundle of, well, just absolute cuteness. His laugh makes you laugh, and his favorite face will be your's too.
Just a few weeks ago, we all gathered to celebrate this little darling...laughter, loving notes, gifts and dainty foods, (all so thoughtfully prepared and lovingly brought) were enjoyed throughout the afternoon...The spirit of the Lord that was there, that love, is what made this little shower extra special, I believe...so here's to our darling big sis and nephew-we love y'all!
Our little man of the day!
Lappin' wit' him's mama..
Mama and big brother Bret
Reading notes...and such pretty ones, too...One of the ladies had printed out of picture of little Ron, and "framed" it with pretty paper on the front of the card-it was so beautiful! What an adorable diaper bag...The monogramming is so elegant!
Gifts...Isn't that a cute blue diaper pail? And I love the practical gift of the apple sauce...such a great idea.
And then at the last, Rachel brought out a beautiful truck that Wesley had hand made for little Ron..It was soo sweet, and just made everybody cry...Wesley made it look exactly like the one Alan drives, with the company name and everything. Isn't it precious? I know Ron will enjoy it so much.
Beautiful Mama...
And here's the lovely feast! Notice the chocolate dipped pretzels to the right. Also the cheesecakes.
And the cake...Lord, do bless him, Father...
And to wrap it up, a picture of our two special people, Katie and Ronald-May God bless you richly. We're so grateful for you both!!

Goodnight, dear readers...love those precious babies in your life. They're bénédictions fabuleuses!
