showers

over the past couple of months brendan has been showered with love and gifts from many people. lee and i are so grateful for the kindness we have received as we prepare for his arrival.

i waited to post all of the showers in one post so without further delay...

shower #1 at AHS (lindsey's school): i am really blessed to work with some really awesome people. they definitely outdid themselves with the shower for brendan...especially since they threw it right at the beginning of finals week. we received blankets, outifts, diapers, gift cards, toys, and more. not to mention, my friend liz knew of my love for crave cupcakes and tucked a box of those away in the gift stack as well :).shower #2 at crippen (lee's school): lee is also very fortunate to have worked with a great team this year, and i think they like having him around too :). they got to know him so well that they knew the perfect theme for our shower...the chicago cubs, of course! neither of us had any idea they had gone to such great detail to plan the shower, but we were so impressed and surprised with everything they did. we received clothes, diapers, gift cards, the SWING, and the first gifts with his name on them (just to name a few).shower #3 at ABC (lindsey's parents' church): i was fortunate enough to grow up (7th grade through college) at a church full of caring and giving people. in june, we were fortunate enough to receive a shower from some of these sweet ladies. we received even more clothes, books, and blankets, the changing pad, sound machine, humidifier, and many more awesome gifts. my aunt also made this adorable cake that i was sad to have to leave in alabama.shower #4 with friends from CFBC (our former church in houston): when we moved to kingwood last summer, we knew we wanted to get connected to a church in the area where we lived. unfortunately, that meant not staying at cfbc where we had made some great friendships. no worries, though. God did not make us friends just because we went to the same church together :). these sweet girls hosted a little luncheon in spring and graciously gifted us with books, clothes, an awesome sports mobile, bottles, blankets, and more.these words are not enough to express how thankful we are to have such loving friends and family who are already crazy about our little guy like we are. we cannot wait for him to meet all of you!
