Consider me showered!

My mom and Annie along with help from Samantha put together a " little" baby shower. When I tried to explain that I'd already had three great baby showers when I had Mackenzie and I still had most of the "big things from her" and that I didn't want to be greedy, they quickly reminded me that they didn't have the chance to "shower" me when I had Mackenzie and now that I am in Colorado, they intended to throw me a shower, whether I was there or not! So I was there. And I was so spoiled! I don't have any pictures of my own but a good number of my family and friends came over to celebrate the impending birth of our little boy and they most certainly did not come empty handed:
And don't think for a second that our mail box was ever empty over the last few weeks! Our Michigan family and Arizona family were missed but their thoughtful gifts reminded us how truly loved and blessed we are to have so many people all over to celebrate and encourage us as we delve back into the world of parenting a baby! Words cannot express how thankful I am to have so many good people in our lives.

Check out this adorable cake! We sure have kept Samantha busy this month:




Here are some updated photos of the nursery:



This is a bear that my mom made from my wedding dress! The sheets in the crib were hand made by Samantha's mom, Rhonda. :
My favorite thing is that ,when I look around the room, I find so many reminders of the people who will be so important to Mason's life. He doesn't know it yet, but he is one very blessed little boy.
