The Rays of Sunshine

Here is a look at our great weekend: On Friday my co-workers surprised us with a baby shower, to help us welcome D.J. Ray, with a music theme. How awesome is this! I have some creative people in my office. They even went as far as providing the thing I have been craving the most: Root Beer Floats. How awesome are these decorations. They were hand made. I wish I had an ounce of this creativity. This toy chest was hand made, and crafted for our sweet Dylan.   We were really blessed with some awesome gifts to help us welcome Dylan. Earlier that week, our department was challenged to compete in a chili cook off, so I volunteered our chili recipe we use at home, not realizing this made me head chef. Bright and early Saturday morning I run around town getting everything needed for the chili cookoff, and since I had never been in a chili cookoff, I was kinda excited. I was pretty sure we would not win, I was looking forward to the experience

When you first find out you are expecting, your due date seems so far away! There is so much planning to be done, excitement, and sickness. It looks like you have so much time and so many things to do, and you think it will all get done! Now here we are 3 weeks away from our due date, and there are things left to be done, yet, I know it does not matter at the end of it all. I feels so blessed to be able to bringing our second child into this world. I know there are so many people out there who struggle with conception, so I can't but feel a sense of selfness given that we were blessed with a pregnancy within a few months after deciding to have a baby! Our God is good!
