34 Weeks down 6 to go!




Grandparent's Shower in Kansas

Justin's parents' friends threw a "Grandparents shower" in Kansas at Dave and Patrice Stephenson's home. They all brought wonderful gifts for the baby and had soon to be Grandma Kim open them. Then, they shipped the gifts to us. Patrice even sent us a video of the shower so it felt like we were there!


Kim opening the Travel System, a carseat and stroller combo.







One of Kim's friends gave her a Grandma photo book.
I don't think she will have any trouble filling it with
pictures!

More guy talk!

Kim's friend Janie took good notes.

Grandma Kim brought a gift to the Grandparents
shower. She gave a couple adorable sleepers. Our
baby will be dressed so cute thanks to all the great
outfits.

33 Weeks Down, 7 to Go!


Shower with Golfing Friends

On Saturday, October 18th my golfing friends Sandi, Michelle and Traci hosted a brunch shower for me. We were greeted with mimosas and then had delicious quiche, muffins and fruit. My mother in law and sister were able to come all the way from Kansas and DC.
