Shower + two

We are so truly blessed. Our shower was in October. My family arranged and coordinated it all for us. When Mr. B and I were married I was very hands on with my bridal shower, this time I glady took a back seat. I am so glad I did so, the shower was perfect. Here are some pictures from our awesome day.
Here are our invites and thank you cards. Are they cute or what?  My camera doesn't capture the true gray they are but you get the idea.
 
 
How cute is the back of the thank yous?
 
Some of the gifts !

And more !

Yes you guessed it more !
I generally don't like pictures of myself but this one was the only safe one to post ! I am so happy here ! And I have tons and tons of clothes on my lap for our little babe. Can you imagine? His closet it full !!!
Ah the infamous shower hat made by one of my besties. She's a good sport. Came all the way from Brooklyn too ! Love her !

Crazy face right ! LOL
                                                                    Cute cake right???!!!!
Of course there were games to keep our guests from being way too bored during the day. One of them was to make a baby out of Playdoh. The results were my favoritre. And yes you do see a bowling pin, my oldest sister has a great sense of humor lol.
Ah the Playdoh baby game. My guests were such great artists !

This beautiful blanket was handmade from a friend of my moms. She also made us an awesome sock monkey ! (I will show you that once I show you the nursery)
another crazy face but how gorgeous is this blanket??? !!!

My shower was planned and booked, but the timing didn't quite work for one special lady in my life. My best friend had a three week trip back to her "mother land," the UK. So this is how we celebrated the day of, thanks to my sister in laws IPhone (yes, peeps, sadly I am still a non smart phone carrier) Crazy faces right !!! LOL

But then she came back and planned a little shower of our own. This is the sign that was hanging and to explain a bit more of "this is where it all began," was because the place she took me, was the place I had my bridal shower. So technically it all did begin there =).

The adorable set up she had for us



our gift basket. See that front right package, it's an Underground onesie straight from the UK


She planned it all, here's our dessert !!! YUM



US !!! 18 years of friendship right here.... wish I put on some blush...eeeeeeeekkkkkkkk


Told ya we are pretty blessed right? Our babe's due date will be two weeks from this upcoming Friday. I can not believe how fast this went. I am so ready for him to be here. He is going to be such a beautiful blessing from God. We made him and God will deliver him. Sigh... life really is about to change =).

Some plans come undone...

This seems to be the theme of our lives lately but it also fit in to the semi decorating reno I wanted to do in our downstairs bathroom/laundry room. And see that was the question, is it a bathroom or is it a laundry room or heck, is it both? I decided to embrace it and decorate around it being a laundry room. I planned on painting the walls gray and one day I will get around to it. But for now I just used the decorations I had come up with to change it up a bit. Here is the before. And the after... We removed the verticals and hung a valance that we had, we had changed the light fixture months ago to make it flow better with the one above the sink. We also changed the hardware on all the cabinets to silver instead of bronze. We also added a shelf to go above the washer and dryer. This way all the soap, fabric softener and bounce sheets had a new home. I then added decorations that went with the theme of a laundry room. Believe it or not this old washboard was in our shed. Looks like ...

Tea bag magic

Don't mind this super old picture of our home. This was when we first moved in but I needed to show the coloring of the chair when it was first purchased. We bought this chair from Ikea when we first purchased our home. It was just okay to me but it fit where I wanted so I worked with it for a while. I played around with different pillows and blankets for the chair but nothing ever really felt right. Until recently, when I decided to take off the bottom cushion cover and dye it with tea bags. I have done the application twice and I think I have finally gotten it to the desired coloring. Take a look. Original 1st application 2nd application Another view So maybe now it will feel a bit better in the room. Not sure if I will go for a third application or change up the New York pillow.

Family

I began to write a posting on July 17, before we knew what God had planned for our sweet Kim.... Kim was taken home that evening to heaven. My entire family is in shock. As I am writing this, tears are running down my face.... Please sweet Jesus watch over Kim, she is safe now with you and is in no pain. Please watch over our family, heal our hearts as we keep Kim alive within ourselves.: "I don't have a very large extended family. Some may think it is, but in reality, it's truly not. I have a few aunts, a few uncles and a few cousins. Most live in different states and many times, communication is sparse. But we are all bonded, in an unspoken way. When one of us is in need, we all speak up and rally. My cousin Kim lives in North Carolina. I have not seen her in "real life" in many years. Maybe the last time was my wedding ? ! But we keep up on each others lives via Facebook. When she recently visited my mom, I was able to see her via Facetime.... Love techno...
