A lot of folks love our girls

Some dear friends that I've known a long time had a shower/tea for me.  My friend who hosted it suggested I set up a registry.  This is a great idea, if I had time.   It was during the prep time for the garage sale, I could not think of a registry, in the midst of getting rid of stuff and room changes.   Generous folks were bringing things by for the garage sale and throwing in things particularly for the girls, the plan was to do inventory of outstanding needs after the garage sale (just before we travel almost).  But it turned out wonderful!  The Lord doesn't need me like I thought.  ha ha.  He has provided through such sweet friends that already love our girls.

But they have the greatest gifts in the world, they have a sovereign God, friends already outside our family who want to love them (as you can see).   They have a brother who is so excited he just jumps up and down.  and parents who are not quite as energetic as that, but ready to love them.  

We may not live in a castle, but they will be very rich.   My friends did an excellent job without a registry.  I don't think I could be more pleased.  I need to mention that one precious lady, just lost her son to cancer just a week or so prior.  She donated the cabbage patch dolls, and bag of things to go with them, that her girls used.  and was delighted to do it.  This was a precious gift because she has so many fond memories of her girls growing up with them.  But several ladies got together and showered me with all these things.  One of the things our girls asked for (and I was glad they felt free to do so) was a baby and stroller.  So many other things were given, to many to mention.  Let's just say we got showered with many blessings.
