subscribe35 Weeks & a Surprise
December 14th, 2010
There are times when you get so depleted and worn out. Then suddenly something changes and in an instant your spirits are revived and your soul rested.
Last weekend held a moment like that for me.
After coming off a week full of working-into-the-early-morning nights trying to get everything in order for the craft show, I was so ready for a relaxing Saturday with my little family. We had loose, casual plans – a lunchdate of cheeseburgers and fries and a little shopping trip with friends to follow.
I was in for much more than that. And Ant had me totally fooled.
He led me right into a surprise baby shower!
And the best part – a surprise big sister shower for Ella Faye.
We arrived at our friends’ house, walked in the door, and there they all were. All my girlfriends, my mom, aunt, and cousin. Even my out-of-state sister, on a computer screen, holding her own little celebration on her end of the internet.
I was floored. Ella, in my arms, was confused. I think I just asked “What?” over and over again. It was a wonderful afternoon.
Thank you ladies, for making me feel so special. I couldn’t ask for more supportive friends and family. And to celebrate Ella coming into her role as big sister made her feel special too. She is so excited, and it means so much to us to celebrate that.
