It's a Shower!

We were excited to have Katie and Joseph be here at home for a couple of days as they were on their way back to school in Provo, Utah. They had a long and exhausting summer and were so ready to get back to their home and start to make preparations for Claire's arrival. While she was here we looked at bunches of nursery sets but couldn't seem to find just the right one. We decided to check out a little quilting store in Edwardsville and happened upon the cutest set of coordinated fabrics using Eric Carle's "The Very Hungry Caterpillar". It's so bright and colorful! It will be darling. These were some of the kids favorite books. For some reason I had saved one of them that was Katie's that my mom had given her to use as a quiet book...back in 1991! So it will be fun to bring all of those fun stories back out again.

Also, while Katie was here some friends of ours got together and gave her a shower. It was really fun and so thoughtful of them. Thanks bunches Heather and Kirstin!
Let's see...there's Teresa, Melody, Amy, Cassie, Lorren, Heather, Katie, Sarah, Rachel, Kirstin, Crystal, Courtney, and Kaylene.
Silly Heather!
You can kind of see Katie's growing tummy...here she is with Sarah. It was such a fun evening and she's well on her way to having a well-stocked nursery!
