Boys are Great

Hubby and I raised one child who happened to be a boy.  During the pregnancy, a healthy baby was my only concern.  Honestly.  When this boy was born it was love at first sight.


Our life has been full of fun and adventure while raising this precious human being and I never once wished that he'd been anyone other than exactly who he is.  We're welcoming a daughter soon, one specifically chosen for us by our son.  We couldn't be happier.   


There's a wedding shower tomorrow and I've been busy putting together a special gift for the bride.  Rachel and I share a love of cupcakes.  We like to bake them and we like to eat them too.  So, my gift to this lovely bride is a collection of everything one might need while spending an afternoon in the kitchen baking cupcakes.  


Boys are great....but I'm sure enjoying the notion of officially having a girl in the family soon.

Congratulations! It is very sweet you are giving her something you both enjoy. I love the variety of papers. Have fun! Adding a daughter to the family is a blessing you will always treasure.

Ha, the painters tape is a hoot. It's something I would do short term, and leave it up forever. Bless you to put up shades. Your shutters are nice. It is so easy to block out the hot sun and they add a little insulation in winter. I love the smocked curtains. Did you use them someplace else?

Yes, those little temporary fixes sometimes end up being permanent, don't they? I still have the white smocked curtains in the dining room and study. They seem to work there as those windows are sheltered by a covered front porch. The floral smocked curtains from the Keeping Room may end up as a shower curtain in our powder room. Always a work in progress :)
