It's been nearly a year!


Cant believe its been nearly a year of no blogging.... starting back up today. :-)

What an incredible Saturday! It was a double-event filled with many surprises.

I first woke up to Hannah and Tim singing "happy birthday" to me. Of course, afterward Hannah said "blow out the candles mommy!" So I blew out some imaginary candles and welcomed the day!

Then, it was time to get the house ready for the huge croud we were expecting for Selah's shower. My mom and sisters arrived and we worked our tails off to make the house pink. :-)

My mom called me from the kitchen and said she had broken something. When I turned the corner, there was a lady in my backyard peeking through my sliding glass door.... it was my grandmother from Texas!!! She flew in to surprise us, and boy did she!

Shortly after, the doorbell rang, and rang, and rang as the herd of women gathered for the baby shower. We played a mad lib game and had a ton of laughs. I got pretty emotional at parts. We were so blessed by the love of friends and family. Hannah even got a few big sister presents. It was so sweet!

After the shower, I got to spend some quality time with Rebecca and Michelle (we've been friends for over 18 years!). I thought I might go into labor with all the laughing we did!

We finished off the day with ordering dinner in and spending time with my grandma and the rest of the family. It was a truly blessed day!
