 Here’s a little glimpse of yesterday’s events. What a blessed mom I am!
Here’s my two girls….my heart is just bursting! Little sis is maid-of-honor.
And then the bride-to-be and her really good friend and matron-of-honor. When she prayed before we ate brunch, she choked up because they live across the street from each other and after the wedding our kids will be moving an hour and a half away so there won’t be any more late night run across the street to visit kind of times. When she was done praying, everyone in the room was choked up. She and our other daughter were the hostesses of the shower and it was held at this dear girl’s mom’s house.Â
Here’s the three girls after the shower…and they are still smiling!
And last but certainly not least…..Liz commented on the number of cars he has but this is not even close to a fraction of them. He will sit for a long time running them down the back of a box. At least he counts and does creative things with them. I don’t know what he’d do without his little cars and his videotapes that he builds with!!! Melissa, please take note of the french fry box. lol  No skins on my fries, please!
Some funny things about the shower. The girls worked so hard on planning it. They had so much food that they put together themselves. They had a wonderful brunch and then they bought this beautiful bakery cake that they FORGOT to serve!!!!! They also had a guessing game of guess how many peanut butter cups are in the jar that they totally forgot about. When everyone was gone, they realized they had also forgotten to have everyone fill out their thank-you card envelopes. We just had to collapse laughing over it.
Next weekend we have our family shower, will be much smaller and more intimate. Then we have a family shower for the groom’s side of the family. This shower yesterday was mostly our church family. It was so wonderful to have so many people show up.Â
I have started to become an emotional basket case. As I was driving to the shower, I realized it’s really happening and I had a little cry and then was totally pulled together when I got there. :s Â
oh…ps  We got the invitations done after the shower and Daddy got some pictures printed and all is well on that front!

The shower looks like it was beautiful. You are so blessed to have 3 wonderful kids. And your daughter is blessed to have YOU for a mom to help her in these funfilled pre-wedding days. I’m feeling very emotional just thinking about it, and how much fun it was to have my mom be a part of mine. I might just have to go look at the photos again!

Love the pictures. You have some gorgeous children. Looks like she probably got tons of good stuff from the shower!

It looks like the shower was perfect!
What wonderful young ladies.
Our daughter has been married a bit over a year. I cried and cried when she first left home to go to college, then cried a bit when she was getting married. I was happy for her, just cried over the changes and remembering bringing her home from the hospital or watching her ride her bike with her pony tail swinging from behind.
I have adjusted just fine and love her hubby like he was one of our own children. They live almost 2 hrs. away, but we see them most every weekend. They are happy which thrills me.
Enjoy all the upcoming events and be sure to have a box of kleenex handy during the wedding. ; )
