A Hope Blessing

Today we were given "A Hope Blessing" (baby shower) for Hope. Since we don't know how big she is yet, everyone gave gift cards, money and special mementos for her memory book. My favorite gift was a frame of our family, including Abby, and an opening for a photo of Hope. It was nice that someone thought to include her, too! Here are some pictures from the party. It was meant to be a surprise, but it turned out that I couldn't come at the time the party was planned, so they told me. But I did not know who was invited until I showed up (Chad and his mom made up the guest list) or what the theme of the party was. Thank you Chad and "Nana" Linda for making "Hope's Blessing" a special day ...
