Hi This is Lesli from My Old Country House blog and like you, I am over the moon happy for Erin and Chris and their new arrival…!!!!
The following was intended to take place BEFORE the little prince arrived, but no matter, the message is as important now. So READ on…and I will meet you back at my place!
***************************************************************************
FIRST COMES LOVE…
ERIN AND CHRIS IN LOVE
…THEN COMES MARRIAGE…
JUNE 2011
CHRIS AND ERIN GET MARRIED
…THEN COMES A BABY BUMP…
ERIN AT 38 WEEKS…
…AND A DARLING NURSERY….
WESLEY’S ADORABLE NURSERY!
…AND A PRECIOUS BABY BOY!!!
WESLEY ALAN
BORN AUGUST 20, 2013
6 LBS. 14 OZ.
20.5 INCHES TINY
As many of you know, Baby Wesley Alan made his appearance a few days early…
….and so, for Chris and Erin …
…Parenthood begins….
There are no doubt an abundance of friends and family in Erin and Chris’s life that will make sure that their sweet baby Wesley has every THING he needs to get up and down and all around in this world…but as we all know…it takes a village to raise a child.
…ALL of us…Erin’s followers and supporters of the “House of Turquoise” blog are a
UNIQUE NEW KIND OF VILLAGE.
A baby is a baby for just the blink of an eye…but childhood and parenthood is a long winding road, with twists and turns…ups and downs…highs …and even though most days feel like Christmas…yes even some lows…
I invite you all to share with Erin and Chris …
…”YOUR UNIQUE VIRTUAL GIFT”
Something from you…a word, a story, a bit of advice, a lullaby, a quote, a poem or even a photograph.
No MATERIAL GIFTS PLEASE.
JUST Give YOU.
My hope is that once all of these “GIFTS” are collected , I will compile them into a book that Erin and Chris can hold and share with their little Boy one day, and let him know how many people loved him before he even got here!
I will collect all of your GIFTS via the comments section, HERE on My Old Country House Blog where this post will be replicated.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR GIFTS.
From someone who is the mother of two adult children and for now, two adorable grandchildren and one more little "secret for now" on the way,
Don't rush too much, Relish each precious moment, Keep a journal of moments, Special little thoughts and most of all those Precious words and Phrases when that precious little Wesley begins to chatter away!
Congratulations on the new life you have with you! I hope that you enjoy the precious moments. Stay rested and well, new family!
Muitos parabéns e que sejam sempre felizes 🙂
Congratulations on your new miracle!
"Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I set you apart." Jeremiah 1:5
You, Wesley Alan, are special!
Awwww.. this is so beautiful!
I am so happy for you, sweetie! This is the best gift we can receive in life.
Have a blessed journey with your little one!

Congratulations! Did I miss the post on his nursery? The photo above looks adorable!
What a beautiful post! I love how you told their story along with photos. And what a precious baby!
I've been a reader for a while, but never a commenter. This post really made me smile though… my son is Wesley, my husband's middle name is Alan and our wedding anniversary is Aug. 20 🙂 Lots of coincidences! Congrats to you!!
Congratulations – Baby Wesley is completely adorable!
I wish, with my now grown children, that I had taken more pictures AFTER the first year! Nevertheless, their childhoods were well-documented and remembered. Every year, I saved colored and painted pictures, glued beans and macaroni, schoolwork and camp projects, award ribbons and certificates. The very best or favorite ones went into a box, chronologically, oldest on the bottom. Over the years, from time to time, with their help, things would become better organized by adding folders, small boxes, envelopes and the like. Thes boxes are now treasures. I also kept a calendar for each child, every year, first smile, first tooth in, and out! Also, Dr appt., friend's birthday parties, music concerts, scout camping– looking back on them, brings back so much. Saving even a few things from this wonderful time will bring back smiles and precious memories many years from now. Enjoy your new love.
