A huge thanks to my Momma, Donna Agee, for putting the "virtual shower" together. Even though you and Judy were the only ones who called in on the conference call, at least everyone else had an opportunity to be present in "voice" if not in body. Thanks to Joanna Schendel for coming over and giving the "play-by-play" for the call!
Thanks to Mom Cabeen, Mary Anna Coleman, Jennifer Laferry and Tonya Waters for taking time out of your busy schedules to come to my home and celebrate with me!
And many thanks to Lori Agee, Barbara Golder, Bethany Norman and Jodi Cabeen who were not able to be present, but were so very generous and had gifts brought by family members and the Big Brown Truck -- I very much appreciate you all!
As for the pictures, a word of advice.... never let your 14 year old son be the photographer... or you might end up with a close-up photo of your rear end...
There would have been more pictures except for two things:
1. There was a technical issue with the download and over half of the pictures were "lost" in cyberspace... there are a ton of poor little lost pixels out there somewhere...
2. There were quite a few pictures that didn't turn out because Micah apparently did not know how to make the camera FOCUS... that's our next homeschool class for the summer.... LOL
Oh well, at least we have these, and I'll be posting more as there are some items that had not arrived from Amazon quite yet. The pictures did not download in order, but I tried to make sure to caption them all....
Baby clothes from Jo
Britax Car seat from the Cabeens - YES!
Ahh, diapers... it's been at least 12 years...
Picture frame from Tonya that says "I believe in Miracles"
Comfy chair and ottoman from the Cabeens
CUTE little onesies with snarky sayings from Tonya along with the little "praying bear" there on the floor -- yes, we are a study in contrasts!
Boppy from the Agees -- along with the waterproof cover and the pretty cover and the Moby wrap
Box of sundries from the Cabeens
The wooden wall plaque from Mary Anna that matches the bedding
Rock and Play Sleeper from Lori Agee - love it!
A great, big bag of necessities from Jennifer who remembered the CHOCOLATE...
a woman after my own heart...
The GA blanket is from Mary Anna along with GA pacifiers, GA bibs, GA socks, a GA sun shade (I think she may know us well or something ), baby orthodontic stuff - of course, the diaper bag and many other sundry things that I'm already beginning to lose track of -- can I blame pregnancy brain?
NOT PICTURED -- but still very much appreciated and will post pictures when I can:
Carter's Tree Tops Bedding from Barbara Golder
Crib and Mattress from the Cabeens along with a set of the BumGenius diapers
Valances and sheets from Bethany Norman
24-piece layette set from Jodi Cabeen
Basinette and swing that Mary Anna is so graciously loaning to us
Many cute outfits and onesies - especially the one about the "greatest aunt" -- apparently there is some debate between them all (ha!!)
Words cannot adequately express our gratitude for the outpouring of generosity from family and friends, you have blessed us beyond measure and, in the words of Paul, we "Thank God upon every remembrance of you".
Peace!
