Taylor is here!!!!

This is Dayle posting for Jan.  I wish I could capture how absolutely adorable Taylor is.  These pictures don't do her justice!  I'm sure Jan will have plenty to add when they get home and settled in.

I think we are ready......

I'm not sure it's ever really possible to be "ready", BUT our bags are finally packed and the nursery is almost complete! It's hard to believe that we are down to the last two weeks of this pregnancy and that Taylor could arrive at any minute!! We can't wait!!

Happy Halloween!

We were SO excited that Karoline came all the way to N. Little Rock to Trick-or-Treat at our house! She definitely got our award for the CUTEST zebra ever!! We also learned that there is NO doubt she inherited the Cosh "sweet tooth"....she promptly dropped her healthy fruit snacks for some candy and as you can see had no trouble polishing it off!!

Showered with love!!

We've been absolutely showered with love by our friends and family as we get ready for Taylor's arrival! My co-workers had a shower for us on October 15th and several of our dear friends hosted another shower for us in North Little Rock on October 26th. We have SO much to be thankful for!!

NLR Shower Hostesses - Elaine, Mrs. Ward, Mrs. Barry, Mrs. Partridge (me) (Beth and Mrs. Wingfield could not be there - but we really appreciate all they did to help with such a lovely shower!) As you can see, everything was beautifully perfect down to the tiniest details!!

Shower at Arkansas Children's Hospital!

8 month update!

This is about the extent of my craftiness and thankfully I had some help along the way! Mom, Cindy and I painted these canvases for Taylor's room!


The finished products....haven't decided where to hang them yet though!


Here's a sneak peek of the nursery bedding/furniture...It's finally starting to look like a little girls room....could it be all the PINK?!?!
