Shower #2...from our church

Today the ladies from our church put on a shower for Caleb! This is Kara and Ashley who did the planning! :)

It was perfect! We first just spent time talking and had some salads that people brought, then opened gifts and then they prayed for me, Matt and Caleb! I'm not against games, but this was MUCH more to my liking! At the end, they handed out little blue and green candles and encouraged people to pray for us whenever they use them! i LOVE that idea! They also had everyone write notes of encouragement or wisdom for different times in the near future. Each person wrote on the front of the envelope when I am supposed to read them. Some are for now, some a week after he's born, others for when I'm tired and discouraged, etc. I LOVE encouragement, so i thought this idea was wonderful as well! I feel blessed!

Here's the cake that Beth, Matt's sister, made for us! If you can't tell from the angle, it's a baby bum with the legs, feet and toes sticking out. The dark part on the top is a blanket.
A few of the ladies before opening gifts! Once again I feel so blessed and God continues to provide for our needs!
We took a group picture but used a different camera. Hopefully I'll get a copy soon to post. I'm not taking pictures of all that we got this time....but if you're interested- of course lots of cute clothes, blankets (my favorite), books, teething toys, booster seat/high chair, breastfeeding cover, mattress pads, a Maya Wrap, wash clothes and bath items, shopping cart cover, an AMAZING photo album that one of the gals created.....etc. Feeling thankful and blessed!
