Okay, so where do I start??? I have been coming and going so much that I don't even know what to talk about first. Let's just say that we are super excited about this little precious girl who is on her way! Here are some photos from the baby shower. We had a great turn out in spite of the rain. When I walked in and seen all who had come out in the rain just to show their support and love I felt overwhelmed so I would like to say a big thank you to all who came and also to everyone who gave gifts.

She got a lot of really wonderful gifts!
I also want to apologize to all of you who received your invitation the DAY OF the shower. So sorry about that, don't know exactly what happened. We had people tell us that they would have loved to have been there but didn't find out until that day.
Anyway I had to go pick the girls up from Kansas for the shower and then turn around the day after the shower and take them back and spent 3 days decorating the baby's nursery, their house, washing clothes, cooked a little, helped Amber get her thank you cards out and signed Leah up for Pre-K and came back. Now that I am back I am catching up on my work. Returning phone calls, emails, making appointments, cooking for my family, washing, and the list goes on.
Am I overwhelmed??? Ummm maybe a little but I think I am flying on a high as I wait for that baby!
Amber is not due until Nov 4Th but I know she will deliver in the next 2 weeks because she is in so much pain and can hardly walk. She has only gained 23 lbs and is all baby but she feels ready.
So that's where I have been. We have so many exciting things going on right now. Our kitchen cabinets come in on October the 20Th and are being put in on Oct 24Th. I am so excited about the new kitchen. I wanted it to be finished before the baby got here. I am most looking forward to my Farmhouse sink. I want to bathe the baby in it :) Oh how much I love being a Mom and a Nannah. I love taking care of them and helping them along life's way. Amber and I had such a good time just decorating etc. I don't have pictures of the nursery yet because my van was packed down with their things and I didn't want to haul the big ole camera and lenses there too but I promise to take it when we go for the birth and will post a.s.a..p.
We have other good news but can't share that right now. I guess you could say that we are waiting on the Lord. In his time we shall come out with it, I will say that we are beyond excited at what the Lord is doing! Stay posted and God bless you all!
