showers!

We have been so blessed by friends and family celebrating our little boy with us over the last couple of months.  Our first baby shower was in Denver and was hosted by my closest friends here.  They put so much thought into it and made it so meaningful and fun!  My sister came up from Dallas to celebrate with us, along with Matt's mom and my mom.

hostesses: Sarah, Christi, Liz, Pattie, (me), Gretchen, Mary Jackson, & Sarah 

 Sarah, Judeanne (Matt's mom), me, and my Mom  :)

 delicious cake made by Sarah C!

 so thoughtful - they handed out pansies which were all marked with a set of dates to remind friends to pray for us.

 yummy.





My sister stayed in Colorado for a few days, so I got to hang out with her and my precious nephew, Henry, which was such a treat!  He is seriously the cutest little baby boy and we had a blast.  He went for his first Colorado hike, mastered his rolling over skills, and belly-laughed at his Pops (my dad) all weekend.  :)  such a fun time.




My office also had a book shower for us!  This was so helpful - such a great idea.  The bookshelf in the nursery is now fully stocked with wonderful books for our kiddo.  Most of my co-workers are moms as well, so they know all of the good books. ;)

Last but not least, this past weekend the Chandler's hosted a lovely couple's shower in Colorado Springs.  Matt has known the Chandler's forever and grew up with their son, Garrett.  They were so kind to host this shower, with both sets of parents and many family friends who live in the Springs.  We had such a fun, special time.

 Matt's excited to wear this onesie.  :)

awesome super-hero cape and mask that my friend Sarah made!

In other news:  less than a month to D-day AND the nursery is almost done.  We just need this little man to have a name.
