Visit from VanderLinden's & New Table





Last Friday night we had Austin, Katie & Brynlee VanderLinden over for supper and to hang out. We had a great time spending time with them! Bray-Lynne really liked baby Brynlee. She wanted to touch her head, hands, tummy ... if she could ask I'm sure she would've wanted to hold her. We tried to get a picture of her holding Bryn's hand but we missed it. We had to remind her to be "gentle" with baby Bryn; she did give her a good thump on the tummy which Bryn tolerated very well. We are blessed to have such good friends. We have been friends with them for a long time now and look forward to many more memories together!

Brandyn and I recently purchased our first dining room table. In our house in Grimes, our rental & purchase in Pella we've always had a hand-me-down or borrowed table. Soon, our parents will be moving into their newly built home down the road & will be taking their table & rug with them. It took us a long time and many trips to Homemakers to officially decide on one we liked. Even when we bought it we were a little skeptical if it was the "right" one. We just got the table delivered today. I got it dusted and put my runner & decoration on it ... of course I posted pictures of it on here. I am very proud of our first & very own dining room table!

It looks great! Bray looks like she would be a good big sister as well.

I LOVE the table like I said, the contrast of woods look really nice! It feels totally like your home now Em. The table took care of that. Yes it does look like Bray enjoyed that little angel a lot. It's hard to imagine Bray not being the smallest in our family though. Tell her to keep enjoying that for now
