Happy Halloween

by Anise Flowers


Only 6 more weeks until Tucker's arrival!  My last out of town trip and flight was 2 weeks ago.  We are so relieved to be "grounded" at home now.  And after 10 years of traveling, the thought of 5 or 6 months at home is pretty amazing.

I had a lovely shower on Sunday afternoon with some special ladies from my church.  Out of 9 guests, four of the women were ordained ministers! (And there was a 5th minister invited who could not attend -- or we might have set a world record).   In addition to gifts and food, we also have a lovely prayer circle and everyone wrote a blessing for Tucker.  They also wrote on birthday cards for him at future ages -- those will be fun to read years from now!  My hostess, Lilia is a culinary arts teacher so the "fruit baby" she made was the star of the shower.

Seven Months

by Anise Flowers


Today Tucker and I are celebrating 7 months of pregnancy!  We are feeling great and looking forward to meeting soon...

Last weekend I was blessed with a lovely baby shower in Mountain Home, Arkansas.  The shower was attended by women who have known me for more than 25 or 30 years, making for a very special experience.  The party was complete with delicious food, great visiting, motherly advice, special favors, and many wonderful gifts for Tucker.  I am grateful to Carol, Sarah, Kathy, and Judy for hosting this precious shower, in my mom's place.
