And we have received more gifts for Jackson - pictures are below. Tyler's girlfriend, Jamie gave us more clothes. I was able to find a great deal of a shelf/organizer at Dirt Cheap in Atmore. Beth stuck to her word and threw in another item of "red and white" :) along with a really cute bib. Aunt Toot gave us an outfit, onesies, and a Winnie the Pooh gift set. I purchased a baby book of sorts today. My friend Carla in Thomasville (whom I met on the last mission trip to Guatemala) gave us a car seat headrest and a cute lullaby glow worm. I saved telling about her for last because I have a short story to share. We arrived home this evening from shopping to find a package at our front door. I told Ray and I was not expecting anything. So, I opened the box only to discover the gifts from Carla with a sweet note that says, "I would not take anything for God giving me my son to raise and enjoy. There is a special bond between a son and his mom. Enjoy him and love him. Love, Carla." I was so excited about the gift and touched by her note and her thinking of us. Another funny part of this story is that we were in Babies R Us today and I found Ray looking in the toy section (of course) and he had the lullaby glowworm in his hand. He turned to me and said, "Would it be silly to put this on our registry list?" I told him that it was already on there. Little did we know that it was sitting at home on our front step waiting for our return home this afternoon. Too cool huh?!
