Life in the Little Red House: March 2009

Shower X 3

My third baby shower was thrown by my wonderful mom for Sasha and I. It was a lovely event with family friends, many of whom have known me since birth or childhood, including some childhood friends from the Galloway Gang. One of the most special parts was when my mom asked each person to share one of their first memories of Sasha and I. While I had heard many of these stories before, it was so fun to hear them again and realize what an important role all of these people have played in my life. Cayden is one lucky guy to have such amazing people surrounding him! Thank you to my mom for the great shower!

Baby Shower 2

On February 21st, Jessica, along with Deb and Gram threw me a wonderful baby shower. The whole afternoon was so fun and perfect and I can't thank them enough! The food was delicious, especially Gram's homemade chicken salad, the decorations were adorable, the games were fun, and I received so many wonderful gifts from family and friends from all parts of my life.

Won't that be the truth!

Guess how big my belly is game...and I saved the pieces from both showers to compare!

Now Daddy and Cayden have matching shirts!

So cool! A diaper cake made by my friend Jen

Jacob's favorite gift...a REAL tool set that Cayden can use alongside Dad (and there's Colby's mom, Nancy!)

Stacy, Tamara, Nicki, and Nancy work on their quilt pieces. Gram had each guest complete a quilt piece and she sewed them together in this amazing wall quilt that I've hung in Cayden's room! What a special keepsake he'll have, and what talented artists I have around me.
