Welcome to....
"BABY LAND!"
...as Josh would say.
We have been working on getting everything ready for our little one to arrive. His little room is just dreamy! Josh knows just where to look when he can't find me...yes, I'm in BABY LAND! This has been my favorite room of all time to decorate!!! Josh's vintage baby outfits, old photos, and sentimental blankets just give the room a precious cozy feel. We can't wait to meet you baby Matthews!!!

Oh baby, we love you so much and are so blessed!!! Thank you Lord for our little one!!! As of 12-06 we are at 33 weeks and doing great.

BABY SHOWER NORTHWEST ARKANSAS STYLE!!!

On Sunday, November 6th my friends
Linda, Jill, Kristi and Kara hosted a shower for me at Linda's home.
What a fun day this was. Linda’s house
looked so beautiful! Jill had arranged to
have all the chairs in white slip covers with
brown and blue satin sashes around them.
Kara hand dipped all the chocolate covered
strawberries and they ordered petit-fors
from Ricks bakery…my favorite!
We got some more adorable baby things for our little one. Thank you to all who made the day so special and to my friends who worked so hard to make everything beautiful. I loved it all!!!

Shower Time!!! Saturday, October 1...

I had my first shower in SUNNY CALIFORNIA... My friend Denise came with me from Springdale, Arkansas. We had such a great girly weekend, living the high-life while driving around in our PT convertible cruiser! My friend Julie hosted the shower at my aunt's home in her beautiful lush back yard. It was so DREAMY!!! With the sound of Jazz in the background and seeing all the white tables with white roses and baby blue flowers it made my heart race! The best was getting to eat the biggest piece of "THE MOTHERLOAD" chocolate cake from Claim Jumper. It was wonderful to see all my family and old friends...and Baby Matthews got some fabulous gifts! I loved it!-I didn't want the day to end! Thank you to all for making it an unforgettable day!

We've moved
...again!












This new house will be the one that
little baby Matthews will
be coming home to in January.
As of 9-23 we are at 23 weeks and everything looks great.
Thank you Lord for your
faithfulness and goodness to us!!!!
