Happy early Thanksgiving everyone! We are at home, cleaning and getting ready for holiday travel tomorrow to Mississippi. We are going to Natchez and Fayette to visit Randy's family for lunch/dinner. Then we will head back to Baton Rouge and spend the long weekend just us - laying wood, tiling the mantel, and of course watching football!!
We also have a new entry for our baby shower - from Lake Jackson, TX. The gift is from Lauren and Thomas Welch! They gave baby Graves (Preston, maybe? We are still thinking!) some great baby books. The Very Hungry Caterpillar has always been one of my favorites, and one I love to give to others expecting babies. They also gave us 2 Dr. Seuss books, There's a Wocket in my Pocket and just in time for Christmas - How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Thank you guys both so much!!
Hey guys! We have another shower update! This time the gift is coming from Huntsville, AL. It is actually a little ironic being that the area is actually my hometown! Oh how I miss it! Baby Graves (because yes, still no name) received a really cute little boy bib set race cars. My dad was definitely a fan of this one. We also got the cutest little set of baby wash cloths, with turtles, duckies and caterpillars.
I am the giant woman behind the cute baby stuff!! Anyone else notice how small I am making that Christmas Tree look? I am going to be outrageously huge before this is finished! And here is the sweet couple that sent the gift!
Thank you so much to the Allens!!
I have awesome friends! But one bad thing about it is they are all pretty much in every state in the Southeast. They decided to get together and have an "across the country" baby shower. During a selected week or so, someone is mailing me a gift and will either mail or email me a photo of themselves. The photo will be of them giving me the gift. I in turn will open the gift and take a photo of my opening the gift like you would do if you were actually at a baby shower. This was so original! And of course, when I heard about it I cried, lovely pregnancy hormones! So I got our first gift this week!...
This is the gift we received from Darcy and Daren Keel! It is a super cute diaper bag and a pacifier pod. The pacifier pod is something I can hook on to my purse so I always have a separate clean place for the pacifiers. The things you have to think about with a baby, huh? I guess that's why they say life changes drastically!! I will admit to something though - we received it yesterday but I had no plans so it was a no make-up air dry my hair kind of day. So I waited until church this morning to take the photo - had to look at least a little better!! Thank you guys so much, I love it!
