The Full Smeall Deal: Oh Baby!

Last weekend was full of babies!! On Friday morning, I was pleasantly surprised to receive a text that one of my best friends was at the hospital in labor. Friday afternoon, Bennett Daniel Osburn came into this world to meet his wonderful parents, Brent and Angela! Joe and I were able to go visit on Friday evening...we made it into their room just before visiting hours were finishing. Angela told me "just get in here before 8pm and they won't kick you out. "Haha! It was so nice visiting...It was just the four of us and of course Baby Bennett too! Joe and Brent had time to discuss March Madness and watch a bit on TV...I think that was a nice relief for Brent...He had a long day! While the boys did their thing, Ang and I did ours...discussing all the details of the birth and so on. Babies are such an amazing gift from God! I admire Angela...she looked absolutely fabulous and it sounds like she was a champ during labor! WAY TO GO! And Bennett...that baby is adorable!

The birth of Bennett came in perfect timing for Melinda's visit! On Saturday, Melinda and I got to go visit Ang and Bennett again! It was so fun to be there when Auntie Melinda got to meet him. The three of us were reminiscing about elementary school and how it's crazy that one of us has a baby now! Mel and I are glad it was Angela first...hehehe! On Saturday evening, Joe and I got to spend more time with Melinda and the Ray family. We had so much fun and lots of laughs! We miss Melinda and it is always wonderful to have her in town...Come home Melinda!!

On Saturday afternoon, my mom, sister and I had a baby shower for our dear friend, Amy Oakley! Jedd and Amy have an awesome story of their new addition, Trent! It was such a blessing being able to celebrate Trent's arrival to the Oakley family. I can't believe how much he's grown within a month. He is the cutest thing ever and was an absolute gem during the shower! He slept the whole entire time and made so many cute little grunts and squeaks as he slept...I could listen to those noises forever...soooo cute! We had the shower at the Tennis Club and it was small, intimate and JUST PERFECT! We had a wonderful time!

Below are some pics from the weekend...Enjoy!
