2!


Our Gus is 2 today! How is it that it has been 2 years since our family of 2 evolved to a family of 3?! Oli you have brought so much joy and happiness into our home, we are so lucky to be your parents.

Today has been ALL about Little O.... We wanted him to wake up to a celebration so this is what Curtis and I were doing last night....

Needless to say.... HE LOVED IT!





We have had so much fun all day long, first we had a delicious blueberry pancake breakfast and then headed off to the mall for a train ride (Oli LOVES trains and was in absolute heaven)




Next we rode the carousel, he begged to ride the zebra


And then another fav... corndogs!


Our good friends invited Gus for a ride with their ponies, horses are another favorite of his.... I think he was a little surprised that their are actual horses his size!




A big thank you to the Shepherds for the invite!!

It has been all about celebration in our home lately. We have been trying to get as much time and fun with our family of 3 before we transform into a family of 4, which will be VERY soon!!

Showered by love

I don't even know how to express just how grateful I am to have so many loving and generous people in my life. Little Miss and I were completely spoiled. I had such a great time catching up with many loved ones and I just wish I had more time with you all! Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping us get ready for this sweet baby... I am just so grateful she wont be wearing Gus's hand-me-downs!

I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful shower, thank you Doll, Kristi and sweet Momma T for all of your hard work! Oh and Cindy and Crystal, those fruity tootsie rolls will be getting me through the next couple of weeks!

I know I failed to get everybody but thank you for taking the time and spending your afternoon with me I don't think I have laughed and smiled that much in a long time. And to those who physically couldn't be here, you were truly missed. I would have given anything to see little Lottie running around with the kids and Rach, deep in conversation on the couch.




A gift very dear to me, my grandmother and grandfather used to make quilts together. My dear Butterfield's gave me one of these beloved heirlooms and of course I started to bawl! It means so much to me to snuggle Little Miss in something so special.

Of Course Carin did a fabulous job with presentation. So many adorable outfits, accessories, blankets etc, etc, etc.... I can't wait to start playing dress up!


Doll was my photographer, isn't she gifted?


Yup, definately showered by love. So many wonderful, thoughtful gifts.

THANK YOU!!!
Oh Little Miss, how lucky you are to be so loved by so many amazing people.
