We Love Lucy!

 

I hope that you had a productive week.  North Texas was blessed with some gorgeous weather.  I've gotten back into my daily walk routine, which is my mood elevator.  At least, that's what the Mister tells me.

Last Saturday, our Mother and Father-to-be were showered with love from family and friends.  The shower took place at one of our favorite restaurants, Bistro 31.  The food and service were exemplary, as always.

Kiley, our #1's dear friend did a stupendous job with the flowers.  Her family owns The T Shop in Lakewood.  An added bonus:  Kiley manages, as well as designs, at her Dad's gorgeous jewelry shop, Matthew Trent.

So now the secret is out.  Our granddaughter will be named Lucille Margaret. The first name because both the Mom and Dad love the nickname Lucy and Margaret for our #2.  I don't know who was more touched by that name - my #2 or her parents.

Lucy's namesake and her beau, Joe.

Adorable Michael, AJ's twin, has spoiled his Sis-in-Law rotten over the years.

It looks like Lucy will be the beneficiary of Uncle Michael's generosity as well.

 Sweet baby photos of the M & D-to-be were scattered throughout the room.

Nobody loved wearing a tiara as much as my #1.

 

Family and friends came from all over to shower the love. Mrs. Adorable is on the far left, while Aunt Mermie, who traveled from Canada, is on the far right.  The proud Uncle-to-be and Aunts in the middle.

Remember when #1 and AJ lived in NYC?  They moved into the same building as their dear friends who had also moved from Texas.

I used to refer to them as the Ricardos and the Mertzes.  

I know #1 and AJ miss their buds, who have since moved to Charleston, SC.

Between you and me, I think that they are secretly the new cast members in Southern Charm. Hopefully, they are replacing JT.

TCU and UT were well represented at the celebration.  

Our dear friends, Miss Deb and Sir Rex, gave us some tips on being grandparents. 

I had not seen the lovely young lady on the left since our #1's graduation from middle school!  She is carrying baby #3!

The happy couple with Tina and Tori, who is also expecting.

A big hello to Tina, who reads my blog!

Party favors are always a good idea!

The Mister said that these cookies were the best he had ever tasted!

And he is a cookie connoisseur!

The Mister and I couldn't be happier to be sharing grandparent duties with Mr. and Mrs. Adorable.

Now comes the hard part... the waiting!

I will share my new moniker after little Lucy's arrival.

If Ann Taylor could guarantee that my short, chubby legs would look this good in these jeans, I would buy out the store.
