Showers 2 and 3 + 37 Weeks

In the past few weeks we were given our second and third showers! The second shower was given to us by my peers at Copeland Elementary School. What a blessing this was because- up until I started my job in August- I had not even met most of these ladies, and yet they truly showered our family with love. Here are a few snaps of the happy occasion. 

Our third and final shower was given to us by my aunt Sue and cousin Ashley. They did a great job of decorating the fellowship hall of Westfield Baptist Church by paying attention to all the little details. It was a great day and again we feel so blessed and loved!!!

We sincerely appreciate anyone who has gifted us with prayers, advice, or anything else at this most-special time in our lives. We are humbled by the grace God constantly shows us by putting His servants in our lives!

Cornerstone Shower + 34 Weeks

This Sunday, our awesome church showered us with love and gifts to help us prepare for the arrival of Sarah Parker. I'm posting these pictures so I can look back on the day in years to come, but mostly so Spark can see how loved she was even before she was born. Thank you Cornerstone Baptist!!! You all have enriched our lives so much. 

We are so thankful for Meagan Hutson and our youth group for hosting a diaper raffle at the shower. Every person who brought a pack of diapers was entered to win a prize. The more diapers you brought, the more times you were entered to win. Now we are trying to find a place to put all these diapers we have-- an awesome blessing and "problem" to have!
