My First BABY SHOWER!!!!

On Sunday I had my very first baby shower! My sweet teacher friends from Garland threw it for me. I loved every minute of it. :)

My friend Jessica and I came up to the big city of Dallas to do our student teaching. Thankfully, the teacher across the hall, Angela, was pregnant with twins, and I got hired! These girls taught me everything I know about teaching. Plus, they were there through my single girl days, through when I started dating Mark, and were still giving advice when I was a newlywed! None of us still teach at the original school, but we still get together every few weeks. The group has grown to include friends of friends and family too, but we've stayed close after years of not working together, which is such a blessing!!


Lyna, Angela, me, Pam, Cindy, Tonya, Tiffani, Sandra, Val, Deshaun, and on the front row, Misty and Courtnee

TWO cakes! Don't they look delicious??

We love to have "dip days" where you don't ever eat a meal, you just have all the yummy dips instead!

Sandra made us these adorable, reversible bibs! She'll have to be a Houdini to get out of these when I'm feeding her.

Is there anything cuter than baby clothes?

Look at this frog potty!! I'm hoping it will make her want to use it sooner. That's how it works, right??

She'll love her super-soft bouncer. The box says it plays Grammy Award winning music. Nothing but the best for our little girl! :)

If only I would have gotten an outfit or two... HA! Don't you love this clothesline idea? I think it's going to be quite awhile before she has her first "I've got nothing to wear!" moment!

If you look really closely, you can see the book, God Found Us You. If you know a child who was adopted, or a family that is in the process of adopting, run out to your nearest bookstore and buy it right now! It's such a sweet story that explains all angles of adoption to your little one. It's written by the same author as the similar book God Gave Us You. I was just looking around on Amazon, and it looks like there's even a twin version for your favorite mom of twins!

I don't know if you saw the little counter in the top right corner, but we only have 25 days to go!!! I'd better get sewing!
