This weekend we took an adventure to find Mary Kate a special gift. She got a special treat for being Grandma and Pawpaw's last grandchild. The highchair that was purchased when Trace was born 9 years ago had seen better days by the time it got down the line the Max (#5). Once he had out grown the chair it was time for it to be retired. The seating was torn and aged and Grandma just felt like it wouldn't make it to the next child. So once we found out that Mary Kate was on the way Grandma said that we needed to find her a new chair when the time came for it. Well, the time was this weekend! Mary Kate is now sitting up and beginning to eat with her hands and didn't have anywhere to sit at Grandma and Pawpaw's house. They decided to solve the problem and off we went to find a chair. Jay and I purchased our wooden chair at the Flea Mkt, so we thought we could find another one there. No such luck! We did locate the shop that made the chairs and ventured there after an afternoon at the Flea Mkt. We were in luck here! They had one just perfect for her, and it matched Grandma's table finish at home. Jay and I were really excited to find it. Now she has her very own chair and will probably never have to share it. Sometimes being the last can pay off! Grandma and Pawpaw even said that it will be her's to take home when the time comes. She can have it in her house with her children and grandchild. What a great start to a very special family heirloom! We are very sentimental about things like that, so it means a lot to us to know she will always have that from Grandma and Pawpaw. I even snapped a few photos of the three of them while we were still in the store. Now she will even have pictures to show her family of the day the chair was bought. Oh! It just makes be smile to think of her placing her children and eventually grandchildren in that chair that was sought out and found JUST FOR HER. What a special little lady she will always be to all of us!
