Welcome to the World, Maris!

Congratulations to Proud parents, Jesse and Laura Pounders, and proud sisters, Tatumn and Finley, on this precious bundle of joy!  Maris Camille was born this morning at 6:57 a.m.  Jesse and Laura have only been in our lives a short time, but they already mean so much to us!  We are thankful for the newest member of their family!!  

Now, let's rewind a couple of weeks to the surprise shower we threw for Laura and sweet baby Maris.  My sweetheart of a friend, Amy, came up with the great idea of throwing Laura a surprise diaper shower.  Laura is brand new to our area, and she thought it would be a great way to make her feel welcome here.  We all loved the idea and jumped right to it. After all, the baby was due any day.  Libby volunteered to host the shower.  Lucky for us, girl's got some MAD party planning skills!  We disguised the get-together as a crafting day to help Libby prepare for her daughter's birthday party.  Seeing the surprise on her face when she walked in was priceless!

Here are the beautiful decorations:






 Libby had the great idea of having us write a note to the baby in a children's book.  We also wrote notes for the big sisters in book for them.
SURPRISE!!
We had lots of fun, food, and fellowship

Laura got some last minute practice in with Baby Brennan
Amy stole some snuggles too
Laura got a nice supply of diapers and some adorable baby clothes.  No one could resist ;)

Today, we are thanking God for this precious little miracle!
