It's a boy!

We are happy to announce - Henry Lee!  Born just two days ago, 15 days early, but 6 lbs., 5 oz., mom and baby are doing fine!

We think he's pretty cute!  Of course we haven't been able to meet him yet, due to social distancing.  This is our first grandson; we have two granddaughters, both age 2.  I think Henry will be the little prince, lol!

Little Henry and dear Hannah.  So proud of her, she did good!

New dad, Danny, and his new love.  He's over the moon!

Looks like a magazine, right? Hannah is very clever and artistic, and she created this adorable nursery. The wall treatment is something she found on pinterest, she free-handed it just using a simple cardboard template.  My quilt is hanging on the crib; more on that later.

They'll be rocking little Henry in that chair pretty soon!  Sweet dreams, sweet Henry!

Hannah and Danny's wedding shower, Walk for our Lives

  We had a pretty day in early March for Hannah and Danny's wedding shower, held at our local park district's golf course clubhouse.  The space is surrounded by windows, bright and plenty of space for mingling.  All of our daughters requested co-ed guest lists, and I must say, it's a great idea! 

Scott greeting some guests, and you can see the lovely room.

Genevieve and Lily, charming a guest. 

Cute group of Hannah's friends:  Katie, Rachel's husband, Michael, Lindsay, Rachel, Kate, and Kate's husband, Nick.

Danny and Hannah playing a version of the "newlywed game", lots of fun to watch! It was the only game we had, besides "gift opening bingo", complete with drinkable prizes.  :)

Sorry this photo is so backlit, somehow I didn't take any pictures of just Hannah and Danny! When I'm busy running things, I forget to take pictures. 

Hannah's good friend, Katie, helping out and enjoying the game.

Opening gifts!

Typical Hannah and Danny - Danny clowning around, and Hannah laughing!  They are so sweet, and have lots of fun together. It's great to see, as a  mom. 

Love!

Walk for our Lives - we participated as a family. 

My girl! Can't wait to see her as a bride in two months!

Last Saturday, I participated in our town's Walk for our Lives, walking alongside my family, community members, and led by the local students. 

Quite a lot of people showed up, on a clear but cold day.  Powerful stuff.  #thisiswhatdemocracylookslike, #notonemore. 

It was important to Emily that she bring Ella to her first march.  I agree.
