We've had a pretty big weekend! First of all we had a retirement party for my Mother-in-law. She's been a librarian in the Gaston County school system for over 33 years, so this new stage in her life deserved a celebration. We invited her side of the family and her assistant from Springfield, Mrs Ruth Hipp. It was a great time with a full counter of desserts and good company. This was the first official party that we've had in our house and everyone was so nice about our home and we were so happy about finally getting to share it with everyone.

| The start of the spread. You never have to worry about Randolphs not bringing enough food. |
Since we had so much of the Randolph family together, we decided this was the best time to share our baby news (plus it was the start of my 2nd trimester and I could NOT wait any longer). Squeals and hugs ensued and it felt great to savor this sweet time full of congratulations and love.
Nathan and I also got to call some of our closest friends and my Maw-Maw and share the news with them. And Sunday morning we shared our news with both the 8:30 and 11:00 services. I'm so overwhelmed by all the love we've been surrounded by and all the wonderful people God has placed in our lives that care about us. My heart is very happy.
