It feels like just yesterday was last Halloween 2009, amazing how fast time flies, but also in the meantime, feels like some days drag on forever!
We have been really busy with lots o' baby showers! Two in the past 2 weeks and still one more to go in a couple of weeks! They are all wonderful women - and wives of Brian's closest friends. I am also lucky to call all 3 of the ladies my close friends! They are all having girls, as I had mentioned before, and are all due within 3 weeks of eachother!!! Lots of pink and even more fun! They are all delivering at the same hospital, so we may be visiting more than one Mommy there at a time!
First Shower, and FIRST DUE (due date mid-December) is my wonderful friend, Lindsey! She, again, is an incredible friend and this is Baby Girl #2 for her and her wonderful husband, Ryan. Ryan and Brian went to high school and undergrad College together, and also have been running buddies! The Anderson's have an adorable, sweet little girl, Bailey, who is 3... and beyond a doll! Jack adores her - just as much as we do! We cannot wait to see Miss Bailey in action as a BIG Sister, and have no doubt she will play the role amazingly! We won't find out Baby Anderson's name until her arrival, but most of all, we are looking forward to meeting her - and having her join her amazing family!
Lindsey looking WONDERFUL at her shower! It was a super fun shower, with games, present, yummy food and wonderful company!
All 3 of the cutest pregnant women ever! Heather, Lindsey and Patricia at Lindsey's shower. They all look so amazing, and seem to all be doing great with being pregnant!
Baby Shower #2 was today! It was a "Couple's Shower" for Patricia and her husband Will. Will and Brian went to high school together, and have remained good friends, so again... leading me to another great set of friends. Their shower was a lot of fun. My first ever "Couple's Shower"! Brian's too! :) He said he didn't think he'd ever go to a Baby Shower... well, he was wrong! It was fun, the food was great, they were blessed with many gifts for their baby girl, Emma Grace, who is due in January! We could not be more excited for the Enderby Family. This is Baby #3, and she will be joining her Big Sister, Amanda and Big Brother William - who we have no doubt, will be the best siblings little Emma could ask for!
Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of the couple, but did get some other fun ones to enjoy!
Is this an amazing cake or what? It was so much more gorgeous in person... I wish I could have captured a better photo... and it was DELICIOUS! They had it custom-made to match the Baby Shower invitation... I don't think it could have come any closer! It was definitely one amazing cake!
Being a bit vain here, but, I MADE this diaper cake! My first ever! It was really fun to make, and even more fun to decorate! I was happy with the way it turned out... and I know the diapers will definitely go to use! I think this may be my new go-to gift ... so be ready ladies! :)
A gift from Baby-to-Be's, Aunt Mary. You may be wondering why I took this picture, and it's because I asolutely LOVE the little hat! A friend of hers makes them. It is so adorable. Again, hard to tell how cute it is in the picture, but it was C.U.T.E.!!! ps. Inside the BIG package was a travel crib AKA Pack-n-Play... such a necessity, and what a GREAT gift!!!
We hope you had an amazing day, Patricia, Will, Amanda and William! We are all so excited to meet Baby Emma, we know she is going to be the perfect addition to your already wonderful family!
Shower #3 will come in two weeks, which is another "Couple's Shower" and it is for Justin and Heather. Again, Justin went to high school and undergrad with Brian, so I am blessed to have two more fabulous friends! We look forward to their shower, and will update afterwards :).
HOWEVER...
...in between all these fun and exciting parties and babies on the way, we have our own little ones... and one of them is having a birthday party next weekend! JACK!!! We still cannot believe he is going to be 3! He is very excited about his party, and can't wait to see all of his friends and eat cake :)
He decided he wanted a Monkey Party... so I imagine it will be a WILD time! Curious George is his favorite companion at the moment... so we think it'll be a fun and exciting party for Jack!
He is also eagerly anticipating Grandma and Grandpa Weeks' arrival Friday evening before his party on Saturday; as almost on a daily basis he asks how much longer until they will be here!
Again, the "theme" is Monkeys... but, it did start out as Curious George... and then just went to Monkeys from there... George isn't an easy guy to track down for parties... :)
Jack is also starting PRESCHOOL this coming Tuesday! He seems excited and ready. Just not sure if Mommy is... I know the first few times of taking him will be hard (on me), but it is going to be so great for him. His preschool had an Open House for his class this past week, and it was so reassuring to hear all about what he'll be doing while he is there, and the structure of his mornings spent at Sweet Peas. He will be going Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and I think it will be a good fit and a great start to school for him.
I, am also looking forward to having some one on one time with Sweet Maggie. Which is rare... so I think we will both enjoy it, and all the while, know that Jack is having a great time at school! I'm sure Maggie and I will find lots of fun things to do! :) We do have some passes for a couple of weeks worth of Gymboree classes, so we will definitely be trying those out, as well, as maybe some indoor play gyms for little ones her age. She is so used to be toted along with her brother to his outings, I think she'll really enjoy being an "only child", and doing something just for her!
Brian captured this goofy picture of Maggie, and it is so funny to me. She is laughing so hard at something, but whatever it is... it made for a great picture of her... showing her sweet smile!
Lastly, we can't forget tomorrow is HALLOWEEN! Jack is excited... and Maggie ... well, Maggie will be excited... hopefully :). We were going to go to a fun outdoor mall, but it has been raining and cold all day, and we expect it to be the same tomorrow.... so we will probably just go to the houses in our little cul-de-sac, and then come home. We are going to go with our neighbors and their 3 girls, who Jack adores, so we may venture a bit further into the neighborhood... we shall see!
Jack has decided on being a Tiger and Maggie a Ballerina! I will definitely post pictures!
And... to think this was the two of them last year... I'm still amazed each day how fast they grow!!!
Jack the very scary DRAGON... doesn't he look scary? :p
Sweet Pumpkin Maggie!
Who had either had enough pictures taken, was embarrassed of her costume, or tired... possibly all 3!!!
And, I can't end this post without one of my favorite pictures of all time... Jack's 1st Halloween (he was just shy of turning 1), but he was the cutest DUCK Football Player EVER!!!! Maybe someday in the future, they'll be showing this picture on the jumbotron at Autzen Stadium, while he is warming up on the field...
Speaking of DUCKS... GO DUCKS! I think we may be smelling ROSES.............................................
