We kicked off the month with a shower given by my college friends and a couples' shower the next night. Erica, Melissa and Anna- my sweet SU friends threw a wonderful shower at Mel's house. My mom, mother in law, Samford and ADPi friends attended- it was a great reunion! Several friends travelled in from out of town to be there. The girls blessed me with sweet baby items for the boys including personalized onesies, bibs and burpcloths as well as books, sheets and all kinds of cute things! We played a "guess how big around Terra is" game- it was quite funny to see how way off everyone was. Thank goodness! Although I'm sure I'll grow into those measurements soon. I felt so thankful for and blessed by each of the girls in that room- for their continued friendships and love.
The next night Andrew's siblings threw us a couples' shower at Mike and Shelli's house. Our family, friends and small group couples from MBCC attended. It was a sweet time to celebrate and reflect on God's goodness to us through this journey to parenthood. Everyone there had prayed with us and walked along side us as we waited for the blessing of children. My favorite time of the evening was prayer time as a group to pray for and thank God for Will and Logan. It was very sweet. We also played a funny "he said, she said" game with questions ranging from who would do the dirty diapers to what we would affectionately call the boys. It was hilarious! We had a great time- thank you Mike, Shelli, Amie, Russ, Jenn and Jamie for all your hard work!
This past weekend we went to Chattanooga for a family shower hosted by by my Aunt Karen, my Granny and my dad's cousin Candy. We were given some cute outfits and nursery essentials- all things we will put to good use. My aunt gave me a silver necklace with the boys' names engraved on little baby booties- very cute. We played cute shower games that made us all remember old nursery rhymes and things our mothers' said that we swore we would never say! It was a fun time to visit with family that we don't get to see very often. It was a short trip and then back to work on Monday.
Andrew and I are so thankful for everyone's love and support during this exciting time. We are truly blessed with good friends and family who have done so much for us! Thank you all!!
