Leaving a fun weekend, heading into a busy week!

Well, this weekend was full of fun and lots of activities! Lauren's big baby shower was this weekend and members of our family and Josh's family came in for the event. I had everyone over for dinner on Saturday night which is one of my favorite things to do!

Michael and Jilinda came down for their first visit home since the wedding. Unfortunately, Jilinda got food poisoning and was incapacitated for the weekend! We hated that she missed the shower.


Sunday afternoon was the shower. Lauren got some great things. It is amazing what they have come up with in baby things even since I had Matthew! Now, she has everything but the baby! He just needs to hold off 10 more days....














I topped off the weekend with a book club meeting last night. We were discussing The Friendship Cake. It is fun being with a bunch of women who are as passionate about food and books as I am!

Side note: Am I the only one who gets slightly depressed when I look forward to the next Grey's Anatomy all week only to be disappointed with a rerun? And, I think they were deceptive last week when they had previews for the "next two weeks on Grey's Anatomy". What they should of said was "Coming in two weeks". Step off soap box....

This week starts a new chapter in my life. I am now going to have two kids on different baseball teams. Matthew starts coach pitch on a team made up of most of the kids from his basketball team and Thomas will be playing T-ball with a fun team full of his best friends from church. I am looking forward to watching both of them, but between two practices, two games, church, and Matthew's piano lessons, I don't think we are going to be home much this Spring!

We are also busy getting ready for our trip this weekend. I am trying to think of everything Mom, Lauren, and my MIL will need to make the weekend a success. I am stacking up books that I want to read while I am away and planning what we will do with our time. I can't wait!

Yes, I was disappointed, too when GA was a rerun last night! I didn't know what do to with myself at 9:00, so I just went to bed!

When I see a really pregnant woman I can't help but whintz and think....
"Praise God that isn't me!"

Meredith-
Hmmmmm.....The Friendship Cake. I liked it and it was an easy, one day-read. I wouldn't say that it was the best book I have ever read, but it was still enjoyable. It lead to an interesting discussion last night. The hostess made the friendship cake since the recipe was in the book and it was great!

Looks like the shower was lots of fun and Lauren got some great things for James!

I didn't know what to do with myself either with no GA last night -- what's a girl to do!

I was so sad about Gray's too! Plus, it was the saddest episode ever... so there was no way I could watch again! I hope your trip is great!
