The Supporting C.A.S.T!

    What does it look like to step into someone's personal pain and heartbreak, not only once, but then again?  Kevin and Lindsey have an amazing community made up of co-workers, friends, and church community. In fact, they call themselves The Supporting C.A.S.T. (Come Along Side Them)
    This special group recently pulled off a very special Gender Reveal Party for Kevin and Lindsey.  Up until that day, no one knew the gender of our sweet little baby Dennis.  So we all waited with excitement and our own predictions.  Little did Kevin and Lindsey know, that it wasn't just a Gender Reveal Party, but a Gender Reveal Carnival! The setting took place in a park, complete with a stilt walker, pink and blue lemonade, a pink and blue cake, pink and blue candies and pink and blue paint, ready to spray bomb a group of friends in white tee shirts!  Cell phones were lined up on music stands to Face Time the event...Dennis and Parrott families tuned in anticipating the big reveal.
With backs to Lindsey and Kevin, they began spray painting their friends....:PINK!  And so we are so tickled pink to announce that Sophie is having a little sister!
    I wanted to introduce you to Kevin and Lindsey's Supporting C.A.S.T.
   You can also go to Lindsey's blog www.vaporandmist.wordpress.com  for the video and more pics!

                         Pink was dominant for awhile, but then the blue paint went flying too!
                                            Lindsey and Kevin loaded up the pink paint!

                                           Sweet smiles to celebrate their little girl!

   Little did Lindsey know that her family was cooking up our our own little gender reveals!  Below is Dan in Central Park, NYC having his own private Gender Reveal Party!
     

  Laurie and Nick and our grandson's, Isaac and Jordan, were in town for Nick's brother's wedding, so we had our own little Pink Paint Party as we loaded up our squirt guns with a little pink! This was the "before pink!"

   Though we don't know the whole story, we know that our little granddaughter will be dearly loved every day.  It is so special to have a community come alongside to lighten the days with their support and smiles.  We see the hands and feet and love of Jesus through every person who gives us or Kevin and Lindsey,  a hug, a note,  a text, or a prayer. It is a great comfort to Mike and I as we are miles away from Lindsey and Kevin, knowing their community is coming alongside them in such tender ways.  You are part of the Supporting C.A.S.T.  with them, and the Parrott, Schultz and Dennis families thank you so with all our hearts!

                         In honor of our precious baby granddaughter #2, my blog is PINK!
