We've had several big events these past few weeks:
James ran in his first 5K: under 29 minutes! Just walking from the Ampitheater to Greensboro and back, I probably sweated as much as he did. And it warmed my heart to hear two nearby kids yell, "Yay, Daddy!" when their father crossed the finish line. Something for us to look forward to. :)
Mom & I enjoyed a wonderful party thanks to Linda, Aunt Penny, April, & Aunt Becka. Good old friends and other honorary "Aunts" showered the babies Crownover with love.
Cosette came with Erica & Wilkes for the weekend. In addition to brand-new presents, Mary & Lily will wear some super cute hand-me-downs from their lovely little cousin.
Some of the same ladies (plus several others) got together to celebrate Carisa's expected baby girl. We're due on the same day! On our walks these past few months, we've marvelled at the fact that on our four legs we were carrying a total of five girls.
These gorgeous, vintage-style name plates made by April go perfectly on the wall of the nursery. So sweet!
James installed this daisy chandelier (thanks, Mom & Jerry!), which looks similar to the one I grew up with.
The butterfly mobile I made looks best from below...
And we've had a couple of get-togethers (everyone's welcome!) where Dad & William play guitars and we sing praises to God, pray, & encourage each other. I love these times at the Fourts', and finally had one at our house. Notice Turtle the cat inspecting Dad's guitar from underneath. :)
We don't know when the BIG event will happen, when we get to meet our girls in person. I'm hoping to make it to 38 weeks (mid-October); Mary & Lily will be good and healthy by then, and I'll get to waddle around the Kentuck Festival of the Arts one more time. It'll be fine whenever they arrive, though. We're trusting God to take care of all of us!
