Our shower with 60 of our closest family & friends.

Jake's godmother Carol thought of the favors and my sisters helped her put her creative idea together.  The "Something is About to Bloom" favors  were flower pots with blue seeds that had other goodies inside. 

Love these two!

Happy Dad to be :)  

The bump!

My sister Joyce picked out the football themed cake.

Greatest sisters in the world who put all of the details together.

Jake received a lot of gifts-everyone was so generous!

What's a shower without games??

Missing a few friends that were there but are not in this pic.

Baby Shower

Only a few people were missing on this wonderful day.

One week ago, I was quite the emotional sap at the end of my baby shower because I couldn't be happier with the family and friends I've been given. I have a family that is nothing short of the word amazing. My sisters. Where do I begin? We are incredibly close, love to laugh, and act silly. (My friends are always telling me that they want to hang out with my sisters!)

As for my friends, we are true friends. We don't call up a friend and talk badly about another friend in our group. We love each other and support each other, as true friendships should be. So in a room filled with people who care about Tom and I and who we love so much it was difficult to not get emotional when I thanked everyone at the end of our shower.

I'm so glad all of you are a part of our lives.

Some pics coming soon....

Happy Friday!

There are so many things I love about today...

I love the intense kicks, jumps, hiccups, and flutters I have been feeling this week.

I love reading blogs as soon as I come home from work as my way of winding down.

I love the smell of my Slatkin & Co. Cranberry Pear Bellini scented candle.

I love the fact that I am officially off of work for a month.

And most of all I love the note (pictured above) that my husband wrote to me before he left for a weekend fishing trip.

It is indeed a happy Friday!

The Little Things

There is a bit of an extra pep in my step when the holidays roll around. Why? One simple word-tradition. During my younger years, I remember my mom hiding an Easter basket in my house and I would wake up feeling eager and ready to begin the hunt for my sugary surprise. Once I became a bit older, she would hide plastic eggs all over the house that contained money/change inside. We would dye eggs and our house would always be decorated. (Oh, how I love to reminisce.)

Time=change. However, I still find happiness in little things whenever Easter rolls around. Who else do you know that snaps a picture of a new nail polish color in her car?!?

Look at the title of this entry. The Little Things. Yes, even a new mint green color on my nails makes me smile whenever I look at my hands.

(A must for spring: Re-fresh Mint by China Glaze)

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!! XOXO
