This post is all about the grandparents :-) Because no 4 individuals have waited longer or prayed harder to become grandparents than Brian and mine's parents. And it has been quite a journey!

Brian's parents have had to watch a lot of our pregnancy from afar, as they live in Gastonia about 3 hours away. This is the first grandbaby for them (just like my parents) and they have been so excited for this little girl to get here. Brian's mom has found some of the cutest outfits for Lila, scouring the outlets and saving up her Kohl's and Gap bucks. I am so looking forward to getting to dress her in all of them as she grows. Here are some pictures of Lila with her Nanny and PaPa!

My parents have also been praying long and hard for Miss Lila to arrive. They have been a big part of taking care of me on bed rest, and shuttling me back and forth to doctors appointments. My mom was actually able to be in the delivery room when Lila was born and has been able to give me lots of mom advice over the past two weeks. Here are some pictures of Lila Bean with her Mimi and G.Thanks to all 4 of you for all that you do for Brian and Lila and I! Lila can't wait for all of the fun adventures ahead with all of you!

What children need most are the essentials

that grandparents provide in abundance.

They give unconditional love, kindness,

patience, humor, comfort, lessons in life.

And most importantly, cookies.
