I am definitely overdue for an update, so I'll start off by informing you that both baby and mama are doing very well.
We've been busy preparing for baby's arrival. We've been on kind of a home improvement spree lately. It started off with the decision to re-carpet all the bedrooms. We received a very generous gift for Christmas from Shane's parents, David and Theresa, for carpeting in the baby's room, and we decided might as well do the other two rooms while we're at it. And of course since we were putting in the new carpet, might as well paint right? We also replaced some base board that was in the extra room because it wasn't in very good shape. Shane's mom Theresa although she originally volunteered to paint the baby's room, helped us paint the other rooms as well as install the baseboard, we're so grateful for all her help! Our current project is re-finishing our bedroom furniture, it's been sanded and primed and is ready for paint! Last project(for a little while) will be installing new closet shelving in our walk-in closet. I'll be glad to have the house back in order, but all the work is paying off and is worth it.
In the midst off all the home improving, I had the baby shower in Arizona thrown by my wonderful mom Jill and cousins Rachael, and Stephanie. The surfer/beach theme turned out so cute, and it was so much fun. The food (pineapple chicken sandwiches, coconut shrimp, and sand pail pineapple pudding to name a few items) were all delicious! And the games had us all quite entertained. I've got plenty of pictures here to share.
All of the decorations were so cute!
Rachael and Stephanie did an amazing job on the cake and cupcakes.
