One of our favorite wedding gifts, courtesy of Danny's Grandma Dottie & PawPaw, was a piggy bank filled with lots and lots of change. We decided to wait until the bank was full before we broke into it. So, for the last three years, we have been saving all our pennies & loose change. The real story: Emily would go around and collect Danny's change every day, much to his frustration!Grandma Dottie suddenly passed away in July, and it was then that we decided to break open the piggy bank -- in her memory -- and use it to buy some of the baby items we'll need. We opened it up and were surprised to see some bills in there! Thanks, Grandma Dottie & PawPaw. When the last penny was counted, it added up to well over $200! Though Grandma Dottie never got to know about this little one on the way, we are glad that, in this special way, she is helping us bring home baby.

What a sweet story! Thank you for sharing!
Wasn't she the best. Reading that story brought tears to my eyes. I really miss her and know you guys do too. Somehow I think she knows about this little one. =)
