Saturday Celebrations!

Last Saturday was a big day! To kick things off, the ZOE Girls had a baby blessing for me and Caroline. It was so wonderful to be surrounded by family and friends who have been with us every step of the way through this entire ordeal with our pregnancy. Every person in the room had been involved in some way to help us through-- whether it was by bringing food, coming to entertain me, taking Luke when we needed someone to watch him, or just simply praying. There were many tears, Scriptures, and times of sharing. It was the perfect way to celebrate her upcoming arrival, and it gave me a real sense of peace and closure.... I am ready for her to arrive now!

Immediately after the shower, all of our family gathered to celebrate Luke's 2nd birthday. We opted for the family only route this year. It was great fun! Luke is just so cute! He had a big time blowing out his candles and opening all his gifts. He is blessed to have such a loving extended family all in Nashville-- except for my parents who are only 2 hours away.

So, it was a busy, fun day. Life is so great. What a blessing to share in days like this with people you love. Now we are just in count-down mode, waiting for February 28th-- the day our family will grow again! Hard to imagine, but we are looking forward to it more and more each day! Bring on the chaos! :)

These are photos of Scott and me on our 2nd birthdays! Looks like we had the same cake, icing, and candles-- except mine was square!
