Wedding Shower Craftiness

Many of you know I love a diaper cake and have made one for most of the baby showers I've been too in the last 10 years. Well, since THAT type of shower will never happen for my friends Charles and Christine (100% by choice) I knew I had to make this Towel Cake for them when I saw it on one of my blogs (I can't find the original post or I'd totally give credit, but I did follow this tutorial).  Their wedding has a nautical theme so I used their colors and copied the knot that was on their lovely wedding invitations. I think it came out pretty cute!

For JMKG

My wonderful co-worker went out on maternity leave 2 weeks ago after giving birth to a beautiful, miracle-baby girl on Mother's Day.  What a wonderful gift! JMKG constantly gave me flack about not updating this blog and I know I've been terrible so i wanted to take a quick minute to let her know that I'm thinking about her, that I'm taking good care of her accounts and that I miss our "talks" very much.  We've done some cool stuff over the past month so I will honestly try to get a few more posts in over the weekend.  Below you'll find two funny pictures of the boys recently to tied you over until I can get some more posted!

Isn't she beautiful?  The bow cracks me up!!

"Ice" is G's signature move.  I found the tshirt at Walmart
and just couldn't resist!

The boys are gonna drive to the lake and let mom and
dad sleep for a change!

Why Me?

I'm not quite sure what I did to deserve them, but I have an amazing group of friends. Some I've known more than half my life and some have come into my life much more recently, but they are all so special and amazing in their own way. When we all get together (which is not often enough) like we did tonight at our "Official Grill and Nursery Warming Party" I'm just overwhelmed with how lucky I am.

As I watch Meg with Anna and Lily, then Lisa with Arya and think about Linnell and Sue's impending arrivals just a few months from now, I get goose bumps. Jimbo's and my world is about to change so much. As prepared as we think we are, we also know that nothing can truly prepare you for what we're about to experience. I am so blessed to have Meg and Lisa to lean on for their advice and I am so excited that Sue and Linnell will be joining the mommy club so soon after me. Our walks will be a little different from now on, but the additions will make them so much fun. Now we just have to find someone good enough for Melissa and we'll be all set!
