I threw Leslie a baby shower a couple of weekends ago. She and Andrew are expecting a baby boy in a few weeks! Leslie will be a fabulous mother; she is one of the most kind and loving people I know. One time a few years back at the beach I caught a clam that was the size of my fist. Needless to say I wanted to open it up... just in case a pearl was inside. Leslie protected the clam from me, and encouraged me to let it go. She is also the one to not only offer to clean up when we get together, but insists on working until all the work is done. She will sit and listen to your stories for hours on end. She makes you feel loved and comfortable. I am so happy for her to become a mother, and of course I believe my brother will be an incredible father.
One of the quotes I framed at the shower said, "to live would be an awfully big adventure" from Peter Pan. I know how excited Andrew and Leslie are to have a baby, but I can't even imagine the type of feelings of excitement baby Cash must be having, because to live is an awfully big adventure, and we can't wait to welcome the babs into this wonderful life. He will be one spoiled little babe.
*P.S. my mom made the quilt with the frames of baby Andrew and baby Leslie resting on it. This quilt was reserved for the first little grand-baby, so it's kind of special. :)
