Jack's Big Party in Kentucky!---October 11, 2008

The big day in Kentucky finally came....and it was so fun to introduce Jack to so many of my childhood mentors and friends!! So many of these women have shaped me into who I am today...and it was so important to me that they meet him!! My sisters and mom outdid themselves with the details of food and decorations!



There were not many tears on this day...but one of the sweetest moments was when Robbin finally got to meet Jack...This child for whom she had prayed for so long!! It was so sweet to see how touched she was to hold him and finally see him face to face!!



My sweet church friends from my childhood.....Fran, Jackie, De De, and Dee....Some key people who shared Jesus with me...and led me through the gospel....from my earliest days!!

You can see Catherine here...who was a huge help with choosing which gift to open...and the discarding of the wrapping! :) What a delight!!
This was probably the most precious gift (no pun intended)! De De had anticipated that I would one day have a baby.....and knowing how much I loved Precious Moments, she painted and sewed this quilt for me...way back in 1999!!! It is so special now...not only because she took the time to make it for me, but because she now could not physically create it due to her severe arthritis. It will be cherished forever!!
Johnna did a great job archiving the details of every gift!! :)
Another childhood friend...Tara Shrum Peffer...with her sweet, sweet baby girl, Ann Marie Faith!
My Aunt Ruth and my happy little cousin, Karen!



What a happy day!!

We are so thankful for all we received...and for all we got to see, meet, and love on!!
