Double Surprise

-
You might remember my Surprise Visitors post when Kelly and Adrian came to see us in Colorado. What I couldn't tell you then was the reason for their surprise visit.
When Adrian took this shot, instead of telling us to say "CHEESE", he told everyone to say,
"Kelly's Pregnant" and the shocked looks on our faces show how surprised we all were.
(By the way, Grandpa Mark is not in the picture because he was out of town.)
Kelly's due date is April 15, 2010.

A few days later, we got another wonderful surprise.



Mandy, Jeremy and Caleb announced that they too are going to have a baby. Guess when their due date is.....you guessed it, April 15, 2010. As you can imagine, David and I are extremely excited. I have teased both Mandy and Kelly about how much fun it would be to have twins in the family, and now Nana will have the joy of twins in two precious little cousins. As I have said before, "Life is very good!!!"

I am so glad I took a study break to check your blog! I gasped when I read the second exciting news, then got up and jumped around my dorm room a little. I also love how the camera caught similar reactions from you and Mandy. I'm so happy for your happiness!

Congrats on the new editions joining your family soon. No to be nit picky, but you put their due dates as April 15th, 2009, but I would assume that it is 2010, unless y'all are secretly hiding those sweet little baby's away from the world to see. Congrats to Mandy and Kelly both.

That is the best post EVER! I am so excited for everyone! I can't believe they have the exact same due date! (And it is exactly one month after mine--March 15.) There must be something about 15s next year. :-) And I am very excited that Caleb gets to be a big brother.

Wow! Now matching due dates is to cool. But it will be a race to the "finish line" for the girls. And Nana may be torn between two cities at once... :-)Congrats!

Surprise announcements are the very best, and I love the way Kelly and Adrian captured your surprise. It's going to be so fun watching Kelly as a mother and then watching the two cousins grow up together. Miss you...

Love Present from a Friend

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me. Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...

Bluebonnets

Texas Bluebonnets and Spring are synonymous! What a beautiful display of God's beauty! My friend, Lea, gave me a beautiful silver bluebonnet charm created by James Avery . You can see it by clicking the link above. I love wearing it because it reminds me of my roots. I still remember the Bluebonnet Song that I learned in elementary school. Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets, With your coats so blue Your bright eyes are shining In the morning dew. They say you're a dolly Offered for the rain And Texas wears blue Bluebonnets in the Spring. Anyone else sing that song as a child?
