My Hero Did Come...

This weekend, Bryan and I traveled to SW Kansas for a baby shower held in our hometown. Many of our family and friends attended and once again, we received some great gifts for the baby! It was nice to catch up with everyone as we had not seen most since December. Our nursery is complete, except for the fact that we don't have a nursery! We have all the items we need to complete it as we received our crib bedding set and accessories this weekend and found out a few weeks ago that the nursery furniture is in. We also received many of the essentials we will need to bring Braylon home, including some wonderful handmade items that are really special. The more we receive, the more it really sinks in that we are nearing the end of this exciting journey of pregnancy! With the love and support that has been shown to us so far, we know that our son will be loved by many when he arrives!

We also celebrated 4 June birthdays and Father's Day with our family over the weekend. I had been working on a project to give to Bryan for Father's Day and after a few failures (I'm not crafty at all), I finally completed it and gave it to Bryan on Saturday. I first saw the wall plaque at a store in KC and it brought tears to my eyes. Instead of purchasing a professionally made plaque, I ventured to make one myself. It isn't perfect, but it was made with love and definitely reflects the way I believe my son will view his father in the years to come.
