Check out the dirty face and the outfit covered in leaves. The ear protection (to drown out the lawn mower and leaf blower) adds a nice touch too! He had a blast hauling blown leaves from one area to another. A long two and a half hour nap followed very shortly after these pictures.
My dear friend Sarah and her mother threw me the most amazing baby shower yesterday. The tables were decorated beautifully with candles and my favorite flowers, lilies. The food was also nothing short of amazing as well. It was a pregnant woman's dream come true- chocolate, cupcakes, mocha punch, and finger foods galore!
My friends truly topped off the event! It was so nice to get together with them and talk, relax, and just enjoy each other's company. It is not often that we get to do that! I wish that I had taken a picture of all of the fabulous gifts that they gave me. The outfits were so sweet, soft, and girly. I was completely spoiled rotten with hand smocked gowns, paty gowns, precious soft outfits, toys, and all sorts of baby girl necessities. When this sweet baby arrives, she will have absolutely no shortage of clothes and toys. Thank you all for everything! I am so blessed to have such wonderful friends!
Here are a few shots of the day. I realized once Kelly left that I hadn't taken any pictures of people- only food and flowers, so I quickly had a few shots taken. I wish that I had at least one shot of Kelly. I will just have to run across the street soon and get her to pose with me for at least one picture so that I can have it in our little girl's baby book!
Happy Halloween! Here are a couple of shots of our tiger. Taylor had a blast this year trick-or-treating with his good friend Emily and their neighbor, Rebecca. He's already talking about what he wants to be for Halloween next year. I would say that this year was a complete success!
Dave's company held their annual picnic yesterday at a nearby park. It was beautiful weather for a fun "carnival" type picnic! We enjoyed rides on the trackless train, playing games for fun prizes, eating Nathan's hotdogs, fresh popcorn, and chatting with friends. It was a great time- and I didn't have to cook dinner when we got home!
