The beautiful set up! Thanks to our sweet friend Megan, we have custom made pom poms! How cool!
Oh my goodness!! We are so overwhelmed with the love of our church family! Thank you to everyone who was able to join us on Sunday for our third and final baby shower.  My lovely best friend Kelsey and great friend Emily threw us an amazing shower! Also, I think almost every girl in our adult small group made something to eat, a decoration of some sort, or gift for he prize winners so a BIG thank you to you all too! All the time, effort, and creativity was definitely admired and appreciated by everyone! Down to the color of the popcorn bags, everything was perfect! I felt so special! It was a great mix of delicious food, share time, games, laughter, and opening gifts! We received so many diapers (yay!), beautiful hand made quilts, hand made hats, artwork, adorable stuffed animals, clothes, books, and even some sandals and sunglasses for the beach! I still can't believe we'll be living in Florida this time next year. I had such a great time of fellowship! My sister, Dr. Lea Ann Lund (pediatrician in Hendersonville if you need one :) came to celebrate and so did my good friend Carrie from Murfreesboro! I can't wait to show you all the creative decorations and food!!
the  theme was "little man" which i loved! do you see this amazing banner?!? Kelsey you are so talented!

Jude's Little Blue Truck Party

-

Little Blue Truck Almost every day, Jude enjoys the rhythm and rhymes of a particular book about a little blue truck. This truck and a few adorably illustrated farm animals help a mean old dump truck ( HOOOONK ) learn a valuable lesson about making friends. We all need friends and the right kind; that is for certain. He can finish almost any phrase, make all the animal sounds, and turn each page as we snuggle together. We treasure those moments and hearing his animated "beep, beep, beep!" Since this little dude has such an attachment to the "Little Blue Truck" by Alice Shertle, we decided that it would be the perfect theme for his second birthday party. I tried not to go over-the-top since Jude could care less about all the matchy decorations. I get it. However, just as I thought, he LOVED the blue truck on his cake! I'm so glad his gaze stopped on the cake for two seconds to notice it... he wouldn't quite settle down until that truck was on th...

Grief, Glory, and Guacamole

Florida Herrons May, 2018 To my friends who have shared this little blog with me over the past ten years, thank you!   There's a part of me that has been avoiding writing lately because I didn't know where to start. My heart has been heavy this year. Moments where you stop and pray ;  But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. (ESV Psalm 3:3) So, as I begin to blog again I feel the need to clarify something; transparency is not my goal here.

After all, " For  we are his workmanship,  created in Christ Jesus  for good works,  which God prepared beforehand,  that we should walk in them . (ESV Ephes...

Let the nesting begin! We have been so thrilled to be able to start putting the baby room together! Thanks to Blake's workmanship and our wonderful Leigh Ann and Lonas, we now have an assembled crib and changing table for little baby boy!  little kitty is not allowed in baby's room i was a super tool holder! the changing table was a lot harder to assemble than the crib! Thanks to the wonderful world of Pinterest I have been able to successfully organize many creative ideas for our little baby boy nursery!! I definitely do not want to get carried away but I LOVE making little creative projects.   Our crib!! Room idea #1 our crib :) also, we are probably going to paint the nursery this color! I'll be hanging some lanterns too! We are SO thankful that Blake's amazing momma,"Granna," will be making the baby bedding for us! It makes me kind of sad that sewing is a dying art but it's so cool that we'll have a li...
