Three Or More Tuesday -#1

This is my first Three Or More Tuesday hosted by Tam over at The Gypsy's Corner. Just look around and find "three or more" of something and join the fun!



If you have stopped by for a visit since last Friday, you know about the wonderful addition to our family- our second grandchild and first granddaughter, Sophia- who was born last Thursday, March 19th.
I had a different post in mind as I went into my picture files this morning. But the first pictures I saw was a group of three photos that first announced that this beautiful blessing was a girl. So, I thought I'd share them with you:)

Ben and Lisa are very creative in many things they do, and this was no exception.

We received these three pictures in the mail several months ago --after they had the results of the ultrasound:

#1

#2

#3!

And now here she is:)

Little Sophia

Welcome little one...Love, Grammy

I mentioned Ben and Lisa's creativity. Here is their account of how they made a special occasion of this event and how they revealed the surprise to themselves.

Lisa wrote:

"We had asked the technician not to tell us the gender, but rather to seal it on a card that we took with us after the appointment. Our next stop was to baby Gap. We picked out a cute baby boy outfit and a cute little girl outfit. We told the sales associate that she was the first to see what we are having and then to wrap up the outfit that matched. It was so exciting--and we still didn't know. After that, we went on a date to Olive Garden and opened the gift to ourselves. Ben video taped me open the bag and pull out the pink baby girl's outfit! I was shocked and so very happy! I didn't think it was possible for Colliers to have girls until at least the fifth time around!"

(We have six children- Ben is one of our five sons- our only daughter was #6:)
