Lesli's "Virtual Baby Shower"

Hi This is Lesli from My Old Country House blog and like you, I am over the moon happy for Erin and Chris and their new arrival...!!!!

The following was intended to take place BEFORE the little prince arrived, but no matter, the message is as important now. So READ on...and I will meet you back at my place!

***************************************************************************

FIRST COMES LOVE...

 

ERIN AND CHRIS IN LOVE

...THEN COMES MARRIAGE...


JUNE 2011
CHRIS AND ERIN GET MARRIED


...THEN COMES A BABY BUMP...


ERIN AT 38 WEEKS...


...AND A DARLING NURSERY....


WESLEY'S ADORABLE NURSERY!


...AND A PRECIOUS BABY BOY!!!


WESLEY ALAN
BORN AUGUST 20, 2013
6 LBS. 14 OZ.
20.5 INCHES TINY

As many of you know, Baby Wesley Alan made his appearance a few days early...

....and so, for Chris and Erin ...

...Parenthood begins....

There are no doubt an abundance of friends and family in Erin and Chris's life that will make sure that their sweet baby Wesley has every THING he needs to get up and down and all around in this world...but as we all know...it takes a village to raise a child.

...ALL of us...Erin's followers and supporters of the "House of Turquoise" blog are a

UNIQUE NEW KIND OF VILLAGE.

A baby is a baby for just the blink of an eye...but childhood and parenthood is a long winding road, with twists and turns...ups and downs...highs ...and even though most days feel like Christmas...yes even some lows...

I invite you all to share with Erin and Chris ...

..."YOUR UNIQUE VIRTUAL GIFT"

Something from you...a word, a story, a bit of advice, a lullaby, a quote, a poem or even a photograph.

No MATERIAL GIFTS PLEASE.

JUST Give YOU.

My hope is that once all of these "GIFTS" are collected , I will compile them into a book that Erin and Chris can hold and share with their little Boy one day, and let him know how many people loved him before he even got here!

I will collect all of your GIFTS via the comments section, HERE on My Old Country House Blog where this post will be replicated.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR GIFTS.
