Showered with Love!

Eddie and I have been blessed throughout the years. We often reminisce about the adventures that we shared in our youth. As children we were surrounded by people who were full of creativity and strength. We both come from supportive families that encouraged us to go out and seek even more love and support from dear friends who would in turn become our extended family. That is one thing that has not changed. We continue to be surrounded by some of the most amazing individuals. Our family of friends has enriched our lives in ways that are far too precious to list. I hope that each of you know how truly special you are! We are truly grateful to stand in a circle that is full of so much love and light!

Our baby shower is just one of MANY examples of how blessed we are. I can't wait to introduce Addison to all of the amazing family and friends who so anxiously awaited her arrival. I want to thank all who have offered advice, a shoulder to lean on, babysitting services, and above all else your love and well wishes.

Here are some pictures from Addison's baby shower!

Two of my favorite women. Granny Linda and Auntie K-Dawg made this a magical day!

Mama Elba showing us the most beautiful scrapbook that she made for baby Addison. It is already filled with so much family history. It is just waiting for Addy's personal touch!


My aunt Kellie who is truly my dearest friend made this beautiful quilt out of pieces of fabric that belonged to Addison's great grandmother (Billie Jean Huffman) and
great great grandmother (Lucille Adamson).

Priceless material pieced together by the most beautiful of hands!

This amazing quilt was made by Addsion's grandmother (Linda Gillot) and great grandmother (Helen Gillot). We will cherish this always!

The sanctuary was filled with fresh flowers adorned with butterflies! A big thanks to Mama Elba for making the gorgeous arrangements.

  1. The count down begins! I have to say that the most amazing part of Addison's shower was her parents. Their gratitude and excitement confirm what all of us already know. The two of you will make amazing parents.
