This Couple.
Next Month, Logan and Ashley will welcome
a sweet bundle of joy to their family.
They are part of a special family, indeed.
Alan, the grandpa-to-be, and my Hubby have been friends
since their college days and we have stayed close.
Flashback
Our family was there to help welcome
Ashley into this world.
As her Godmother,
I couldn’t be more proud of this young woman.
A teacher, a coach, a wife, and now a mother.
See the small wrapped gift attached to my bigger box?
A brilliant suggestion…
Instead of a card, purchase
a favorite children’s book for the new baby.
This Gigi loves to give books to our grandchildren,
so I had lots of ideas to choose from.
And now, this new baby will come home
to a library of her own.
A Diaper Cake makes a darling centerpiece
on the gift table.
The table decorations help us to “Think Spring”
The cookies were “Too pretty to eat”
Flashback
When Ashley was born, I hosted the Baby Shower in our home.
The new mom had plenty of help opening gifts.
And now she looks forward to being a grandmother.
Kari’s mom stepped in for the Photo Shoot.
Soon to be, four generations.
Flashback
Here’s Ashley’s Grandma Doris holding that little bundle.
Flashback
Ashley had two grandmothers to shower her with love.
This is Alan’s mother, Grandma Irene.
Ashley’s Aunt Amy made the drive to be here
for this special day. I enjoyed our visit.
Flashback
There’s a couple of ladies that were guests at both showers…
Like this family friend, Linda.
I don’t think she’s changed a bit!
More more Mutual friends,
Sonya and Katzy.
I enjoy sitting with you two, Aunt Amy, and Paula.
Flashback
Guests enjoyed viewing the gifts and cards…
and playing with Ashley’s little cousins.
Another cute idea…
Each guest was given a diaper and a sharpie
to write a message to the new parents.
Maybe this will help them through those
groggy middle of the night diaper changes.
Ashley’s High School Friends.
As a teacher, I knew them as teenagers.
They are both mothers now and I’d love to read the advice
that they wrote for Ashley and Logan.
Surprise Party Favors.
Each guest went home with a little something
from the unborn baby.
“Watch me Grow”
You bet, little one. We’ll all be watching.
Take care,
~Natalie

Congratulations. What sweet memories and current ones too. Family is truly important. Wish digital photography had have been around back then, as many of my old photos are from like pocket 110 cameras.
