You're No Bunny 'til Some Bunny Loves You by Weezilou

You're No Bunny 'til Some Bunny Loves You

Today was the baby shower for Ashley and it came together beautifully! (Heather & I stayed up late & rose early to make a number of baked goods for the table.) I took lots of group photos of my girls' friends, but enjoyed time just visiting and holding one couple's 4-month old baby. After all the years of watching my friends become grandmothers, I can't believe that soon I get to become a member of that club, too! This evening I watched Ken and Ashley figure out the dynamics of a baby car seat and stroller and thought of the fun he's also going to have with a little one around again.

When John looked over my shoulder and said he loved this picture of Ashley, I didn't hesitate to choose it, too. And the bunny...that's one of Heather's designs, and I suspect it'll someday be a part of *someone's* childhood memory someday.
Let the parade of baby toys begin!

AHHHH, I am loving the bunny! :)
This is a *very* cute shot.

I LOVE the play on Sinatra (my favorite singer by the way). It looks like you are having such a fantastic time with the family. Wonderful shot of your daughter! Hope the shower was a blast!

I love this picture...Ashley def has that "soon-to-be-a-Mommy" glow. And that bunny that Heather designed is amazing, so cute & snuggly looking.
I think that you are going to make such a fantastic grandmother...I'm sure that you are very excited to take on this new title : )
Glad that a fun time was had by all.

I love this shot, and Heather's bunny is just too adorable! You must be so excited to be joining the grandmothers' club! I'm sure you've answered this question a million times already, but when is Ashley due?
September 20th, 2010  
Definitely sounds like it was a big success, and her smile really lights up her face. Happy Mommy to be. You guys are going to love being Grandparents.

I can imaging now that the time is getting closer tht you and Ken are so excited and can hardly wait.....I remember the day my first grandchild was born..it was our lovely Britney who is 21 now..it was on a beautiful March 27 day..it was so warm that day that I wore a short sleeve blouse..will never forget that special day as my own daughter Grace was born on the same day as Britney. so the 27of March is so specil to all of us.

September 20th, 2010  
What a cute bunny!! Your daughter looks great! I can imagine how excited you must be, becoming a grandmother!!!It's so nice to read you're having such a wonderful time with your family. I think a babyshower is such a nice gesture.We don't have that overhere.
September 20th, 2010  
The grandparents club is one of the best clubs that you could possibly be a member of!!! Your daughter is just 'glowing". It's such a VERY special time in all of your lives. Congratulations to all of you....so exciting!
September 20th, 2010  
What a lovely picture. She is glowing! Congratulations to EVERYONE. The bunny is great.
September 20th, 2010  
I love my star bunny!!!! =-)
September 20th, 2010  
Ashley looks amazingly well and is glowing and that bunny is way sweet ha! I think its brilliant that you are looking forward to being a Grandma. Grandmas are so important in childrens lives, really really important. My Scottish Granny was the most amazing Granny that anychild could want or have. She was so so special and filled my childhood with some amazingly warm and happy memories :)
September 20th, 2010  
I want that hat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 20th, 2010  
You're going to looove being grandparents! We do - it's all good and none of the bad!
September 20th, 2010

How fun to be able to spend this time with your girls. This is a great photo of your daughter. The bunny is pretty cute too!. Enjoy your time with your family.
September 20th, 2010  
Wonderful picture. And I can just imagine a similar picture next year with Baby holding onto Bunny!
September 20th, 2010

September 20th, 2010  
Oh, Ashley looks so happy and sweet holding that little bunny of Heather's! Glad to hear the party was a success! :-)
September 20th, 2010  
Cute picture! What an exciting time for all of you!
September 20th, 2010  
That's adorable! I'm so excited that you get to become a grandma! Such fun, you get to hold them and play with them, and yet not have to get up in the middle of the night. I'm so grateful for the 4 blessings I have already!

Sounds like the shower went well! I loved having them as well as throwing them. So much fun to go through all of your stuff when it's over.
September 20th, 2010  
Ha! RE: my Spanish fiesta...thankfully there was no train to catch in the morning, and I was able to sleep in a wee bit. Still, when you get in that late...sleeping in until 8am doesn't really mean you get that many extra zzzzz's. It truly was worth it, though. :-)
September 20th, 2010  
Ashley looks like she's glowing! That bunny is too cute, I bet the baby will love it, what a beautiful picture! Heather is so talented, what an amzing family!
September 20th, 2010

September 21st, 2010  
That is an adorable bunny! She looks so happy and she really does look like she's glowing.
September 21st, 2010

September 21st, 2010  
It's so cute! Nice shot!
September 21st, 2010  
Ashley looks so happy and radient. That's a lucky baby!
September 21st, 2010  
Beautiful picture! I love the bunny! Her belly is sooo big! We've joined 365 and this is our first comment. We miss you! John says every day that he wants to go back to Nova Scotia. He misses Dill almost as much as you. The weather here is getting colder, as you must know because you're in Chicago. We know that you'll enjoy Chicago and we look forward to soon seeing your baby shots! I'm going to try to post a photo every day. Love Eva.
September 21st, 2010  
How exciting to see you here already, Eva! As soon as you post your first picture, I'll let everyone know you're on line...I'm so proud of you to take on this project! I hope you'll be back here to see this comment. I'm looking forward to becoming your first follower! Love you, too...Louise

Two quotes I love – “A grandchild fills a space in your heart that you never knew was empty" and "A grandmother is a little bit parent, a little bit teacher, and a little bit best friend." – both Author Unknown. My favorite thing ever was when Michael was about 2 and staying with us for the night, leaned over hugged me tight and said, “Mama, you’re my best friend.” Still makes me sigh! It’s going to be the best time of your life!
September 21st, 2010  
Sweet photo, she looks so happy ! i cant wait too see the baby pics. You are going to be a wonderful grandmother!!
September 21st, 2010

September 21st, 2010  
I think your daughters are just beautiful. Ashley really has that mommy-to-be glow. I'm anxious for you, too. You're going to be a wonderful grandma!

I love that photo of Ashley! She is so beautiful! The bunny is simply adorable - when I saw it I suspected it might be hand-crafted by Heather! ;-) You'll be one lucky granny, Louise! My sister-in-law is also anxious to have her baby. He should be here by October 1st! This will be grandchild number 7 for Jeremy's parents! ;-) We are the only ones who still don't have any children, but al least his sisters are making it up for us ;-)
September 21st, 2010  
What a lovely photo! What a memorable day for you all :D
September 22nd, 2010  
Nice picture. She looks so happy.
September 23rd, 2010  
Wow, what a cute little bunny! I want one, too! ;)
She looks radiating! I cannot believe she will be having her baby soon. Time really does fly. Seems like only yesterday you posted the picture of your sculpture with the little baby marble!
