A Lovely Shower

I had another baby shower on Saturday. It was wonderful!! My granny, aunt, mom, sisters-in-law, and friend hosted the shower at a beautiful bed and breakfast. Many friends and family attended, and I was so thrilled to see them all. Two of my friends who attended are also pregnant. I have know one of them (she was my neighbor growing up) since I was 4 years old. The other, I actually met the day I was born in the nursery. We share the same birthday. It is special to me that we are all expecting. Many family friends attended from out-of-town. I felt so loved. Blain is very loved and received many wonderful gifts to welcome him to the world.

The night before the shower I received this picture of my grandparents. They owned a flower shop when I was growing up. They closed the shop years ago, but the memories I have there remain a big part of my life. My grandparents, who have both been under the weather lately, took the time to put together the centerpiece and corsage for the shower. I must admit that I shed some tears at the sight of this picture. They are two very special people in my life.
