Olivia moved out completely yesterday. :( I am going to miss having her in our home, but as we told her there is always a spot at our table with her name on it. It has been a great 10 months, it seems so short and yet much longer. Her room is all cleared out and ready for Jeremiah's things to move in. Step 1: Paint! We have the paint, we just need to find the time to do it. Then we can put his furniture together and move all his things in.
Sunday was our baby shower. We had such a great time and I was so blessed by everyone who came. Bill & Karen let us use their beautiful home and as you will be able to tell by the pictures below, the girls did an incredible job of decorating. The games were fun, the food was incredible and it was a great day all around. Each person there wrote a word of encouragement, bible verse or just a thoughtful note for us and Jeremiah and Carina put them in a book for us to keep. Some of them made me cry, others made me laugh, while some advice got tucked away for future use in my memory bank. Thank you ladies! The day was incredible and I felt so blessed to be surrounded once again by a group who has prayed and believed for Jeremiah. Sometimes when I struggled with doubts myself. It was a beautiful testimony of God's faithfulness to his children and I can't wait to see what else He has in store for that group of women. Many more baby showers, that is for sure!
Jennifer made the cake and Jeannie made the cupcakes, so cute and yummy! I can't seem to label each picture, but this is me and my dear friend, Bethany hugging. Me, Lars and Aubrey after the shower. Me and all of my lovely hostesses, 1st shot is (l to r) Carina, Jennifer, Trish, Gina, Jeannie and me. 2nd shot(l to r) Gina, Jennifer, Carina, Jeannie, me and Trish, Cindy Wagner praying over our family, the girls in purple are, Olivia, Marisha and Evie (Evie is Abbie's daughter) And all the rest are the beautiful decorations. I think we will hang one of pieces in Jeremiah's room with some new pictures.
