Baby Townes

The first weekend of February, the kids, my grandma and I went to Dallas for my sister's baby shower. She is having a little boy, Townes Hunter Parrish, due March 21st! It was fun to celebrate her and the new chapter of their life they are entering.

Ashley and Hunter are going to be great and are super excited! I am super excited for them. It is so different when your own sister is having a baby vs. your friends. You are super excited when your friends are having a baby, but when your younger sister is, it is different. I, at times, feel more of like a "mom" when it comes to her. I guess because I am older and just protective of her. I have loved walking this experience with her and know I will cherish the next step as she becomes a mother. I am so excited for her to experience it for herself. You can never truly "know" what something is really like until you walk it yourself. It is a beautiful and hard journey all in one, but one of the BEST things I have ever done or experienced!

Praying for continued health for her and the baby in this last month of pregnancy!

So, I have to explain the picture below. Elynn had a really hard time going to sleep while we were in Dallas. I am not sure if it's because we have only slept over somewhere like 2-3 times since she has been born and doesn't like pack-n-plays or if she thought she was going to miss out on the fun if she went to sleep. So, my grandmother was a rockstar! She would take Elynn in my brother and sil's room and get her to sleep. This was around 1030 or 11 PM! Ha! But, I walked in to check on them at one point and this is what I found. Such a sweet picture!
