Charlotte's Nursery

Before we even found out Charlotte was a girl, I planned on using most of William's nursery decor for baby #2. I loved everything about William's nursery and the sentimental touches in it.

 The room looks much more pink in these pictures than it does in real life. Grant did a great job painting her room. 

 Needlepoint frame from my nursery. 
 That just happens to match this sweet figurine from my nursery.

Ragan's Baby Shower

I hosted a baby shower for my BFF, Ragan, and baby Lila (due Nov. 8th) last weekend. I've been anticipating this special event since I found out Ragan was pregnant the day after Charlotte was born. I was very pleased with how everything turned out largely in part to the wonderful hostesses that helped. I told them I'd be responsible for not letting William and Charlotte destroy the house in the weeks leading up to the party if they took charge of everything else ;)

 I love a good excuse to break out my fine china and silver. I wish I would've gotten some better pictures of the tables but I was crunched for time. 

 Baby Lila got lots of beautiful clothes :) 

 KD ladies
 Ragan and her college friend, Ferrill, are both due in early November. Don't they look great?!

 Ragan's friend Callie did the flowers. I was so impressed with how they turned out. Juleann, I want you to teach me how to arrange flowers next time I'm home. 

 Ragan and Mrs. Whittington
Ragan with her Aunt Kay and wonderful momma! Counting down the days until baby Lila's arrival. I have a feeling she and Charlotte will have lots of fun growing up together!!

Charlotte's Baptism 9.20.15

Charlotte was baptized on September 20, 2015. We intended for this special occasion to occur on September 13th but the stomach bug took all 4 of us down that weekend. Granny, Juleann & Sam, and Mom & Dad were all in town the weekend of the 13th but we had to reschedule due to the dreaded bug. Charlotte was baptized by Brian Erickson at our church, Trinity United Methodist. It was a very special morning for our family. Charlotte, your Daddy and I look forward to bringing you up surrounded by our wonderful church family.



 This special family heirloom will have each Davis/Blount/Shaw grandchild's name and their baptism date sewn onto the slip. Ann Torrence is up next :)

 This wild little boy managed to make it through the entire service. While the orchestra played a more upbeat, loud song he stood in the pew (at the front of the sanctuary) and danced. I think he'll be going to the nursery for big church for at least another year ;)
