grateful

we are so very lucky.  two weekends ago our dear friends Karin and Jen held a shower for Sarah and Baby dd.  in their typical style, the shower was so well planned with love and care, with n/a sangria, veg-friendly foods and yummy cupcakes and cookies.  i didn't have to lift a finger and i could be barefoot.  

so many of my wonderful girlfriends, mom and MIL were in attendance to celebrate mommy-ness and baby.  thanks to my mom for making the trip from chicago, and all for taking time out of their saturday to watch me open gifts... which i normally find to be awkward but this day i really enjoyed it.  

so many wonderful fun things to look at, wash, organize and imagine what our world will be like in a few short weeks.  i was actually excited to do laundry. 

thank you to everyone for helping us prepare for this new adventure - we are very grateful.
