Good Monday morning from a very warm East Texas! ☀️
The summer heat has definitely settled in, but so has a heart full of gratitude after such a wonderful weekend spent celebrating family.
Our first celebration was a gender reveal for Trey and Savannah… and it’s a BOY! 💙
We are already counting down the days until little Rowan Allen makes his arrival on October 31st. The moment they announced his name, my heart smiled.
Rowan was my great-grandparents’ family name, so hearing it chosen for this precious little boy made the day even more meaningful. Some family names have a beautiful way of finding their way back home.
Then we traded blue for pink as we celebrated our sweet granddaughter, Tori, with a bridal shower. 💗
The day couldn’t have been more perfect. Tori was absolutely radiant, and the home where her shower was held was simply breathtaking. Every room, every flower, every little detail created such a warm and elegant setting. I'm sharing a couple of photos because this beautiful home deserves to be admired.
This weekend reminded me just how quickly life changes. One family is preparing to welcome a tiny new life into the world, while another is preparing to begin a life together.
Babies, weddings, laughter, hugs, happy tears… these are the moments that fill our hearts and become the memories we treasure forever.
Now it’s Monday, and while East Texas is heating up, my heart is still glowing from a weekend filled with love, family, and countless blessings.
Wishing each of you a beautiful week ahead. May it be filled with reasons to celebrate the people you love. ❤️
Shug 💙💙💙









Congratulations to Rowan, Tori and your whole family. What great news. I am very happy for you and will say a special prayer for y'all. Enjoy yourselves and make happy memories.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you all always.
I am loving all the PINK at the shower. It's such a warm and welcome color. That's good news that the baby will be a boy. Sons are so very special. Rowan is a cute name, and one you don't hear that often. I love that it was your grandparents' name as well. Tori's pink dress is pretty, and this home is decorated so nicely. The table with the gold plates and pink flowers is lovely. And I love that the Christmas tree stays up all year long. These were, indeed, two wonderful days to celebrate, Shug.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful family filled joyful weekend.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful home and decor and congratulations on the new bundle of joy coming.
Rowan is such an elegant name.
May your week be filled with God's Joy and Peace.

Oh how nice to be back in blogland and see your beautiful post and family. What a delightful pink shower. What indeed a lovely home. And I love using a family name for your new babe. Our Son has my dad's name, and his son is named for a nephew that unfortunately was killed in a work-related accident. Names are special. I had a computer die, and when I got my new one, my blog dashboard was lost. Thanks to my daughter, I'm up and running. Have a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteWhen is baby Rowan due? I can't wait for photos! your header is gorgeous. When will Tori's wedding be? The shower looks gorgeous, and that chandelier is awesome.
