I can honestly say that I have dreamed a lot of dreams in my brief life. In all those dreams, I can never once remember dreaming of having a baby shower, much less a twin baby shower. Well, welcome to reality because we are having twin baby showers. I'm pretty sure we are having 4 or 5 showers (Kendra is having some with work colleagues and her daycares).
The first shower was this past weekend with our amazing church family at Tuttle Christian Church. It is absolutely the biggest blessing in our lives to get to go church with our immediate families and for that family to be expanded by the grace of God and love of others.
We received so many wonderful gifts this weekend. We received clothes from preemie size all the way up to 18 months. We received butt paste, baby soap, and baby lotion. We received stuff to take care of our babies when they are sick and stuff to entertain them when they want to play. We received all of this as gifts from our amazing church family.
We also received our baby quilts from Kendra's grandma Betty. She makes each of her grandchildren (now great-grandchildren) a quilt when they are born and when they get married. A few weeks ago Kendra, her mother, her sister, and Grandma Betty spent at least 3 hours picking out fabrics to blend together into some beautiful quilts. Below are the baby quilts for Ian and Nolan.
Here is Nolan's quilt. Kendra did an awesome job picking fabric, and Grandma Betty made some beautiful quilts.
This is Ian's quilt. Slightly different, but still a beautiful quilt.
