Baby Shower

I am so blessed to have some of the best friends here in Birmingham.  And, since I have none of my family here, this makes me happy.  It's like your friends become your family.  Some of my friends from the bunco group gave me a small baby shower.  I felt a little silly having a baby shower for the fourth child, second boy, but these girls insisted that every baby needs a shower.  They were so, so sweet to do this for me. 

The baby shower was at Sariah's house and she did such a great job of decorating.  I'm bummed I did not get a picture of her!  She was a great hostess.
Debbie and Amber
Amber actually went into labor at 11:00 that night and had her sweet boy the next morning.  She was such a great friend to even be there!  Debbie is pregnant also.  She is still having morning, evening, whenever sickness!  So I really appreciated her helping out with this baby shower.  I love these girls!

I was so excited that my sweet mother-in-law, Helen and my sweet sister-in-law, Jamie could be there.  I am happy that I have Seth's family close by.

Two of my dearest friends, Stacy and Dana.

Let me tell you about the lady in the middle holding the plate.  This is Annie.  She is like my children's adoptive grandmother.  She treats them just like they were her own grandchildren.  She is only five years older than me and all of her children are grown.  We laugh about this all the time.  I think it makes her feel really young and it makes me feel really old!  Her third daughter just went off to college.  She has four grandchildren, all boys!  I learn so much from her.  She has raised three great daughters and gives just some of the best advice ever!
