Showered with Love #1

Those distant dates on the calendar have all of a sudden arrived, the showers are starting, and it makes me stop and think...where has time gone?!  My Mom hosted a family shower at her home last Saturday, October 10th!  It was great to family that I had not seen in a very long time and catch up learning more about the family tree and how we are all tangled together!

I finally got the chance to meet Quinn, she was the latest addition to the family early this year, and she just melted our hearts!  Quinn was showing off her mad skills on her Exersaucer & even loved it so much, she gave Baby Hahn one!  I have to admit that little device serves many purposes and after watching Quinn, I am excited to introduce one in our house!

(look at all those toys to play with)

(Grandma Joyce, sister in law Erin, mom-in-law Teri & nephew Payton)

Generation pictures are so neat to take at any opportunity you can get.  Payton is the second grandchild on Brandon's side, and he is proof that they do grow up so fast.

(I loved monkeys as a kid, here is one of those goofy toys from when I was little.  The ears on this monkey spin when you press his belly...Payton was unsure about that at first)

(gotta love the cheese smile...)

I am so lucky right now as I get to share my pregancy with Brandon's sister Mistie!  She and Mike are expecting a baby Boy in December, and having her right along side has been great. 

(in another 6 weeks, we will have to take another few steps back)

(Mom Lynne, Grandma Nan, sister Rachel & niece Naomi)

Naomi was a huge help, she mostly just made me laugh, but that is the best role to play!

(she even showed me how she could eat an apple with missing teeth)

(it's a headband!  I see many pictures and laughs ahead with this one)

(the reverse side has suffles on the butt and a matching flower headband)

(I'm a HOOT just like my Mom...apparently everyone thought this was the perfect shirt for me, wonder why)

Brandon and I both want to thank you all for the love and support you have shown.  I'm telling you, this baby is going to be overwhelmed with love and we are so lucky!
