Blessings and Suprises!

The Nursery: We have been busy trying to get the house set up and the nursery ready for the arrival of Kenadie Celeste. This is a corner of the nursery taken the day we moved in.We went and got some paint samples in an attempt to pick just the right green and pink that would coordinate with the bedding. Brett was already preparing to have a painting party since I am unable to help paint.

And then Our sweet Pastors wife at FBC Opelika approached us about using our nursery as a ministry project and time of fellowship for her Bible Study Group. They wanted to paint the nursery while I was in TX...What a HUGE Blessing!!! So Brett and I taped off the nursery and got all the painting supplies together beore I left town.


Brett said it was pretty awesome to see these girls fellowshiping and painting. I was sooo curious to see all their hard work so he took some quick pics before the tape was taken down to show me when he flew to TX the next day.

So that is what I saw in the pictures while I was in TX. I started planning what I would tackle first when I returned home...remove the tape, paint the trim border, hang curtains, paint dresser and set up crib etc.... But...

Brett truly SUPRISED me!! He stayed up late every night working hard until I flew home in an effort to suprise me with a finished nursery!!! He is the GREATEST!! Brett I appreciate everything you have done for me and now for our sweet Kenadie!!

So this is what I saw when I walked into our house!

Thank You to everyone that helped paint, and to those of you who helped keep the nursery a secret until I returned home! We are truly blessed to call you friends and I was truly suprised at this wonderful gift! Now we are ready to hang pictures and wash the baby clothes!!!

Plano Baby Shower

Thanks to some of our close Plano friends we were given a Baby Shower while we were in TX. It was so much fun getting to see everyone and catch up as we celebrated the upcoming arrival of Kenadie!

Shower Hostesses

Me and our good friend Missy. We are both due around the same time, but Missy is expecting twins!!! We are praying daily that she can keep those babies in as long as possible! She was so sweet to organize this shower in the midst of preparing for the arrival of her two little blessings!

Me and my mom "GiGi" as she will be called.

We can not say thank you enough to our Prestonwood Friends that have truly blessed, prayed for and encouraged us as we are following Gods call to Opelika AL!

Our Nephew Baby Rhodes

First Herndon Family Picture

Rhodes and his Uncle Brett. Brett is already teaching Rhodes the important things in life...Auburn Football!

Rhodes and Aunt Cathy as we got ready to leave for the airport to fly home to AL. I had a great time in Texas and I was excited to get to help Carolyn and Drew as they adjusted to life with a baby!

The Happy Family (slightly sleep deprived)! I had a great time with them and I will miss them bunches! The next time we see the Herndons will be when they come to Opelika for Kenadies birth or Thanksgiving!
