the big announcement

I told you I was done with the Outer Banks pics...but I fudged a bit.  There was one night I was waiting to share with you.  One very special night where our dear friends decided to break the news to their kiddos that they were expecting their fourth.  This is how it went it down...FYI we already knew and had told our kids;)  
 






This is about the time that I was thinking...maybe we shouldn't be here. 
He's in complete denial;)
 



 
Uh...can we go through the back door??  Maybe we can sneak out and they won't notice...HA!
 



Ahhhh sweet innocent Sophia...



Seriously the whole thing was such a sweet memory to take part in.  The kids were in shock...but quickly warmed up to the idea.
 
 
When it comes to baby stuff I was really private. Hard to imagine me private, but I was.  I didn't even have my family at the hospital when we gave birth to our girls, so for the Hutchinson's to include us in this beautiful family memory...it was an amazing honor!  We are so beyond excited for them and the wee one on the way:)) 





**BTW thank you to everyone who shared your history with food/diet on the last post. My heart aches for those of you who have struggled...and those of you who continue to battle with food issues.  It's a touchy, hard topic and I'm so grateful we have people who can help and a God who can heal!  The winner is WHITE WHISPERS 2U.






Have a blessed day.

  6. I knew right away when the
    pics started popping up on IG
    from OBX....! But of course,
    little ones aren't that tuned in
    to much beyond themselves.
    Fun memory!

  7. What a special memory! Ahhh I have learned to stop expecting everything to be a Norman Rockwell moment….that is totally how the news would have gone down in my house…but how loved that baby will be by his or her siblings when the time comes!

  9. OXB one of God's most perfect spots, closely followed by Cherry Grove, SC (can you tell I'm partial? smile). Congratulations to the expectant family; babies are God's opinion the world should go on.
    Visiting via Glenda; God bless you, yours and the work of your hands and heart.
