A quick one...

Getting ready to head to a family reunion/Memorial Service for the Gawthrop side (Mom's side) of the family in Huntington, WV. The clothing options are getting smaller and smaller... Anyway, really looking forward to seeing the family!!!



On another note... To go with the white pique' bedding for the white Pottery Barn Kids bassinet for Anne Bradley, I found the most precious website that had white pique' decorative pillows that could be monogrammed. Since all is white in her bassinet, I embellished a tad on her little pillow... LOVE IT!!
I couldn't resist!!! :) not sure why the lighting was so bad, but took the pic with my camera phone, so that could be it! I LOVE how precious her name looks on the pillow! Don't have the rest of the bedding in her bassinet yet, but threw the pillow in for good measure... Brad and I are getting so excited and so ready for the baby shower (at least I am!).


MOST OF ALL, I AM READY FOR THIS SCHOOL YEAR TO END... what a bunch we had in the 5th grade this year! Ready to see them graduate to 6th grade FOR SURE! Wish everyone a wonderful summer! Will update this later when we get more pics of this reunion weekend!

TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY!

Today, Brad and I celebrate our two year anniversary... close to the time we were actually going to TRY to become parents!! God had other plans... Not only do we get to celebrate two years of wedded bliss, I have my 24 week check up for Anne Bradley and we'll get to hear her sweet heart beat! I can't wait! Brad surprised me with flowers and a sweet card for Mother's Day (to-be) on our crazy packed Mother's Day weekend! He's so good to me! Mom (and Dad) surprised me with a more girly nursery bedding, though I had resigned to the fact that my baby girl was going to be in the Navy and white pique bedding from Pottery Barn Kids that is absolutely precious... ALAS... That has been put into the basement for my little boy to-be someday... Mom found the most precious bedding to surprise me with! I think some of you have it from what I recall... though of course my Mother picked it because it reminded her of a Sweet Briar baby... I LOVE IT! :) It's the Serena & Lily bedding in pink & green damask, called the Kate bedding. I AM SO EXCITED! It's super girly... We are adding beadboard/wainscotting to the walls in her nursery and are painting the walls the pink that is in the bedding (we had already bought the paint for the navy and pale pink room that Anne Bradley was going to have!)

Her Daddy is in the process of painting her dresser white and did a fabulous job of picking out the knobs for her new dresser from Anthropologie!

It's going to be so cute! :) Nice job Daddy to be! :)

Lastly for today, Brad and I are celebrating our anniversary at The Boathouse at Sunday Park. It's out in Midlothian, but REALLY delicious and has a gorgeous large deck overlooking a lake!
