This past Sunday, a couple of girls at the church, Kelly and Elizabeth, threw me a shower. It was held in the fellowship hall of the church after the service. Before the service started, Brian went to drop off something in the kitchen for me and when he came back into the service he wrote me and note that read, "I stopped by the fellowship hall and it looks REALLY REALLY nice!!!" He was very impressed with the decorations and food and the hard work the girls put into the shower, as was I. And it DID look very nice, just perfect. I have to add here that other girls from Sunday School helped out as well and added their touches and good cooking. It was quite an effort and we are so blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives. Not only did they bless us with their prayers but also their generosity and thoughtfulness in throwing us this shower. After the service, Brian hung out a little while because it was Ava's lunch and nap time, of course, so while we all ate, he fed Ava and she fell asleep on his shoulder. He held her and she slept a good while and woke up just in time for the opening of the gifts. I'm so glad he stayed too. She would have been in quite a mood had she not slept. So THANK YOU Brian! After she woke up he took off for home. I guess he didn't want to be the only guy hanging out at the shower!
After she woke up we grabbed one of the exersaucers from the nursery and she sat in that while I opened gifts. I could tell she was a little groggy for a while and then she perked up and was a happy girl. Give that child an exersaucer and she's good to go, or stay I should say! So here are some pictures from the shower. The food was awesome and the decorations sweet. Elizabeth made the cake herself---I'm impressed. The icing was a exact match to the invitations. Doubly impressed.
By the way, Beth, she wore the dress you gave her. She got MANY compliments! You did a great job picking it out. It is beautiful.

Hey! I was thinking that I would try to come to that shower! Darn it. I guess it did not get written down or something - I'm sorry! But it sounds like you had a very good time. I would have liked to meet your friends, though! Everything looked really pretty - especially Ava.
Courtney is having separation anxiety from her cousins. We need to see Ava soon - and maybe we'll shoot for September for a family thing. Ashlie says August is full for them, weekend wise. We'll talk.
Sorry I keep missing you - this phone/computer thing is really, really bogging me down. John is returning the phones tomorrow, they are a pain and they aren't ringing right - I thought you might have called tonight but I couldn't tell (it KINDA rang, then quit, and it didn't show any number on the received calls list), and I hated to call you so late. Bleh. Technology is a love-hate thing.
Everything looked so beautiful, and everyone. Love Ava's dress, way to go, Beth!
The cake looked yummy, wish I had a piece right now.
Ava was interested in those presents. You'll have to tell me later what they all were.
