Grandma's Blanket

One of the highlights of the shower was opening the blanket that Grandma Angie made.  Unfortunately Grandma was not at my shower....but her gift was.  Here is the story....when I was about 7 years old I was watching my Grandma crochet a baby blanket.  I asked her if she would make my baby a blanket.  Her initial response was that she did make my baby doll a blanket.  I then said to her....no a blanket for when I get married and have a baby, can you make my baby a blanket.  Grandma then went out to the store and bought yarn and crocheted a blanket for my baby and KIMee's baby.  She put them in a box at the top of her closet marked with the date.....1986!  I am so glad that 24 years ago I asked Grandma for a blanket....so now Owen has a little piece of Grandma Angie!  A wonderful grandma and lady that he will unfortunately never meet.

Opening Grandma Angie's blanket for Owen....made in 1986!

While going through bags and boxes at home after the shower, I was taking Grandma's blanket out of the box.  I was about the throw away the tissue paper when a not fell from the paper and landed in my lap.  It was a hand written note from Grandma telling me the story of the blanket.  There I was all alone in Owen's nursery balling reading this note.  I am so glad that I found it, seeing as I almost threw it away.  I am going to take a picture of Owen with Grandma's blanket and put it in his scrapbook along with the note I found in the box.

Baby Shower

I recently had my baby shower.  It was on October 17.  It was supposed to be a surprise, but mom and Kim had to tell me about it.  Me being on bed rest put a bit of damper on their plans.  However, I was able to go and I was very excited.  I would have hated to miss it.  We received so many wonderful things for baby Owen.  We got lots of clothes and blankets and safety items.  Plus....car seats, strollers, bathtub, play gyms...etc.  It was such a wonderful day.  I can't thank my friends and family enough!  We are so thankful for everyone's generosity!  Enjoy some pictures of the day!
