Carly's baby shower in Kansas...

This is wonderful Aunt Randa. She is ready--at any given second of the day--to host anyone anytime. Randa is Brent's mom's oldest sister who lives in Norton, Kansas, and her oldest daughter, Carly, is expecting her first baby soon. Carly's sisters hosted a shower recently at Randa's house in Norton, and Gage and I attended with Pam (Brent's mom) and Jackie (Brent's sister) and Madison (Jackie's daughter and our niece!). These beautiful flowers were picked from Aunt Randa's amazing garden.

Great Grandma Koel also lives in Norton, Kansas, so we stopped over there to share the babies with her for one afternoon. Gage had met her once before, and they have a sweet fondness for one another.

This is Brent's sister, Jackie, and her daughter, Madison. We all drove out to Norton from Colorado together.

Aunt Randa (aka, Mimi) is wonderful with ALL children, and she seems to love them unconditionally. Gage was at home in her arms.

This is Pam's mom, Great Grandma Swindler. It was really sweet to see her swinging with Gage while she sang softly to him the songs she used to sing to her babies.

I'm glad that we got to go celebrate Carly's baby with the family, and it was nice to have a weekend away with my baby boy.
