So Tim and I have been soooo blessed by the generosity of friends and family at 3 different baby showers! We have inherited SO many hand me down items as well from Tim's buddies and their wives growing up and recently a friend at church just gave me about 15 fuzzi buns among other things! (If you're a hippy-greeny type mom your jaw just dropped...I KNOW!)
Our first shower was in Oklahoma and I had NO idea it was happening. We scheduled a trip in August before I had to head back to work for the school year.
On Saturday, Tim and I went to lunch with my second family out there and were all geared up for a day in Guthrie Oklahoma with Christi, Joe and Elle on our way back from lunch. But when Valerie and Maris pulled into my sister's driveway we saw a woman and a small boy running into her house! Me, being a brat sometimes, thought immediately..."what? she invited friends? I just wanted to have family time..." And then we saw the blue balloons blowing around on the lamppost in her yard and it sunk in...it was a surprise shower! I suddenly realized why my sister was so adamant that I borrow a pretty blue dress to wear to lunch instead of my jeans and t-shirt!
I started crying immediately. All of my favorite Oklahoma women were there, some from over an hr drive away. It was really really special.
Here are some photos....of me crying (happy tears), of this awesome OKC firefighter shirt his Great Uncle Chris bought him!, and of some really amazing women. Thanks for giving us such a wonderful gift of love sister. (and mom and aunt becky and gramma too) :)
More to come later on other showers...it's now time to get ready for the work day, and it's FRIDAY! :)
