Baby King

Despite being so far from home and loved ones, we have felt so blessed by the people that we have crossed paths with here in Texas. Since moving to Houston, we have found friendship with many people and have been surprised with four showers for this baby!

I thought I would share a few photos from several of the showers. The first shower was thrown by my amazing sisters and mom, when we visited Boston in July. We also had a virtual shower with all the Kings. This baby has received everything from car seats to beautiful handmade quilts, made with much love.

Even Ellis has gotten into the showers, and is practicing for the big day, when we'll actually have to use the car seat!

Our First Thanksgiving in Houston

Well, this is going to be my experiment with blogging. We'll see if I can keep up with this and hopefully keep you all updated on the exciting events that will transpire over the next month and months to come.

This year we had no choice but to remain here in Houston due to baby King being due within the month. We were lucky enough to have family come to us though! The South Carolina Kings and Jesse and West Coast Becky came. We also had friends, Peggy and Michael, from the Vineyard come by with their dog "Wrench". After dinner, we went to a nearby park (for lack of any near by mountains) and let the dogs run and play Frisbee (Bailey's all time favorite activity). It just doesn't seem right for the temperature to be cooler inside that out, as I think it was around 80 degrees on Thanksgiving!
