A Day for Babies!

Mom and I had fun making cards Friday night for Shelly's (my stepsister in law) shower and Elijah's present. We both were off our game - lots of hilarious mistakes and redos but this was what I ended up with. She sealed her's too quickly so I wasn't able to snap a photo.
We headed to Fort Worth this morning for the shower, but stopped by Joanna's for a short but sweet visit. We knocked on the door. Knocked again. Waited. Waited some more. We finally decided we should ignore the "Baby sleeping - please don't ring bell" sign, thinking it couldn't possibly be THAT loud. WRONG! It was as loud as a clap of thunder and went on and on and on. Oops! It was like a Saturday Night Live skit. Still, no one answered so we started back to the Jeep to grab the cell phone and viola - Nathan and Joanna drove up! We had a fabulous visit and Elijah is so incredibly beautiful, and Joanna and Nathan are beautiful parents. I still can't believe Joanna has been my friend for 20 years. Insanity! Elijah and his cousin Noah should be Gerber baby models. Seriously.

Next stop - baby shower! Shelly is so adorable - one of those pregnant women who looks exactly the same except for a basketball sized belly. She had lots and lots of family and friends to celebrate the baby girl, due in January. We were so glad to share the day with her! Shelly and Sam are are two of the kindest people I've ever known and they will be amazing parents!
