loving fall

My family is obsessed with a restaurant called {Sake Blue} in Louisville.  It's delicious!- but the wait was a little long, so my sister Sadie, best friend Chelsea and I passed the time in the field across the street with the beautiful fall colors!

 Love you girls!!

Baby Shower Blessings

While we were in Louisville, we had two baby showers!!  It was such a blessing to see dear friends and family and everyone was so sweet to shower John Ryman with their love.  I hardly took any pictures while in Louisville and at our first shower in town, but thankfully a friend took my camera for this one and she captured some of the beautiful details of this Sunday Shower...

Thank you to the talented hostess and dear friend Tammy Holbrook and my amazing Aunt Jill who traveled in from Chicago for hosting a beautiful shower!  It was covered in prayer, special little details and thoughtful gifts from friends.  (Don't you think Tammy should start a business!!  Her decor was incredible!)

 The Grandma and Aunt even got special gifts :)

 and I have no idea what was so funny about this book?

stone family time

 We had a wonderful time visiting with family the past week in Louisville.  One morning (during a misty rain) we took some Christmas family photos-  here are a few we snapped after the main Christmas card :)

 John Ryman, your dad and I love you already and can't wait for you to arrive!

He is named after his daddy John Patrick Paul, John meaning God is gracious, and we just loved the unique addition of Ryman to John for the double name :)  Now we look forward to putting a sweet face to his name!

-thanks Sadie for taking these pics :)
