Shower of Blessings

Our week got really busy at the end of last week.

Last Wednesday night (yes-a week ago tonight....I know I am behind-remember, I had blogger problems), my family was so blessed to be honored at a baby shower at our church. To say that I am humbled by the out pouring of love from these folks is an understatement. We have literally been here now for about 5 weeks and I am here to tell you that our baby boy will now have plenty of blue things to wear.Which is a blessing in itself since most of our stuff was pink and covered with princesses.


Everyone was so kind to all of us! As is evident in this picture. This table was full of gifts just for the girls. They also had 3 little corsages made just for the girls. Even though the girls wouldn't put them on (I was a little bit mortified that they refused the corsages!) - they were made to feel incredibly special and I cannot thank you all enough for that!They also LOVED all the things that were given to each of them. Just look at M. here. She loved this little bear!

And -- just look at all these yummy desserts! DELICIOUS!!!! You can see how much L. enjoyed them!







A. also enjoyed playing Vanna White and showing the gifts around to everyone.



It was such a wonderful night. I've separated everything by size. Now I just gotta get all the tiny stuff washed so he can wear it when he arrives. Thanks again, ladies. You will never know what a blessing this shower was to us. And while we are so excited to have things for this little boy to wear, it is even more of a blessing because once again, you've shown us such love and welcome in the short time we've been here. Thanks ever so much!

For those of you out there in blogland, who have mentioned that you've not seen any pics. of my very pregnant self, I'm looking for one to show you. I think there is one that will work (I'm not photogenic at all) in the birthday pictures. So, check back later this week.....

  1. Oh, my friend, you've landed in a very good place! What a great bunch of church people. You tell them I said so. From one preachers' wife to another...

    We love us some showers of blessing!

    PS: This picture of you doesn't count. You're covered in presents.

  2. How nice - I know you needed the support probably more than the presents, right? It won't be long!
