lauren's baby shower.

i hosted my first baby shower on saturday and i must say, it was pretty fun! lots of good food and good baby talk. :)





(i must point out christy's cloth diaper "cake" and maria's handmade oneies. too cute!)

new,

layout. :D

saturday.

i started my morning reading on the front porch with a cup of coffee, listening to the birds greet each other. an hour later i was watering my flowerbeds and picking out the leaves as i listened to the whistles and cheers at the soccer match going on at the park. an hour after that i was on the lawn repotting plants and sipping iced tea, listening to joey quietly growl at the mailman who was dropping off some bills. two hours later i was following michael on my bike as we rode to subway for lunch, listening to the cars as they passed us. a few minutes from now i'm going to give joey a bath in my farmhouse sink, listening to michael nail the new baseboards into the kitchen walls. an hour from now i'm going to sweep the floors and dust the tables as i listen to creedence clearwater revival on the record player... i could go on and on... but i won't. :D

dessert.

travis and olivia came over last night for apple blossoms and ice cream. they also brought this wiggly cuteness with them. she entertained us all with her girly wiggles and whines and overall adorableness.
