Showers bring May flowers!

Over the past 2 weeks, we have had two very wonderful showers for the boy! They have been so wonderful and the generosity of so many people has made us feel overwhelmed with love. The first was on February 28th in my hometown. It was a very cold, snowy morning but very warm with love inside. It was hosted by 5 of my cousins and my aunt Linda. The decorations and food were so great and it was wonderful to see so many faces I know and love. The shower was held at the church where I grew up. Samuel was spoiled for sure. We got SO many personalized gifts as well as our swing and a lot of other necessities. We received 3 hand made blankets made by family and friends which I am so excited about. The four runner was absolutely packed headed back to Dallas. I don't think anything else could have fit in it. Here are some pics!







Claire was such a big help!

Andrea made us this incredible scrapbook calendar!


On March 7th, my stepmom Dana and some girlfriends gave us a shower here in Dallas. It was gorgeous! Once again, they went overboard and spoiled us even more. The shower was at my dad and stepmom's house. We raked in some more great personalized gifts and so many precious things. I think everyone did completely too much! I am still amazed at the love when I look at everything we already have. We still have a shower to go! Whew!















Unfortunately, we still do not have any of our furniture yet! 14 weeks and counting...ridiculous! I finally decided to put some things in the closet today to get them out of gift bags and feel a bit more organized.




Just a FEW of the special "Samuel" things from both showers. Don't know why blogger flipped the pic.

Looks like all we need now is some furniture....and a baby of course!
