Life As We Know It

Pretty in Pink

Here are a few of my favorites from our darling's latest photo shoot. These are all, of course, before we took away that pretty flower in the bottom picture and she threw probably the biggest fit of her life. Still, we got some great shots of our sweet angel. :-)

Stopping Traffic

I flew solo last weekend to the Braunf to host my dear friend Karene's baby shower. With lots of help from Mom, I made a watermelon fruit buggy, yummy spinach dip, & a lovely cheeseball for the occasion. Thanks Mom! Everything was set to go for the shower when Emily picked me up and we headed to the clubhouse the hostesses had reserved for the day...or so we thought! Turns out the clubhouse was double-booked that day with another baby shower and ours, so the location quickly changed to Karene's aunt's beautiful house. So Em and I set up the food, then turned around to redirect OUR shower guests to a new destination while the other hostesses got the house guest-ready. We took turns flagging down every single car on the road to the clubhouse for twenty minutes. We got some pretty interesting reactions, my favorite from an older lady who was hard of hearing and hesitant to open her car window to a couple of strange arm flailing girls in dresses.

When we finally arrived at the shower, sweaty and frazzled, we saw Karene's smiling face and knew it was all worth it! The shower turned out great, without any lost guests!

Mommy-to-be and me

I stole this idea from Robin's blog--Thanks Robin!

Awaiting Baby Avery

We headed to Mt. Pleasant last weekend for Diana's baby shower. Less than a month (most likely) before we meet sweet Avery Grace face to face! We are very excited to welcome our new niece! Unfortunately my camera lost some pictures in the upload so no pics of the mommy-to-be :-( but here are some of Brooke on the "Arctic Cat" with her Uncle Dodo (expectant daddy) and CJ. Everyone is always so sweet to Brooke when we visit, especially CJ!
