showered with immeasurable love

yes, i know, it's been a while.  things with four kids and homeschooling has kept me cranking!  but, i wanted to share some pics of our amazing shower that my girlfriends put together for us.  the pictures don't express how Jesus filled the shower was, but you'll just have to trust me on that.  it felt like i was at someone else's event which completely ministered to me in ways that only Jesus could do!  thank you to all who were involved and all who came and supported us in so many ways.  we are overwhelmed with how the church body and our family has supported us! 

our new family!

this was the set-up at the table.  i selfishly took the photo board home and the pics.  i wanted the rest, but i couldn't be too stingy! i just wanted to capture that feeling of that day at the shower!

the stars of the shower got their own cakes!

is this not the coolest cake?!  love! 

this mama and her little sweetie helped prepare me for a girl!  i really don't know what to do with one, and still don't, but we're getting there! 

this cute baby is as big as our little man!  except he's half his age!!!

that cute lady on the right had her hubby hand painted this canvas for everyone to put their thumbprints on who were there.  it is beyond special to me to know that this was hand painted by my pseudo-brother and one of my best of girlfriends!  it is front and center in the kids' room!!

isn't she the cutest pregnant lady ever?!!  she just delivered a healthy little girl this week.  we are praising Him for pulling her out of a scary delivery. 

so, there's kind of a neat story to these pillows.  my sweet friend here made them for me...by hand, and she just had a baby!  pretty amazing, huh.  i could stop there, but there's more coolness around these little personalized owl pillows.  i almost registered for some nearly exactly like these, but talked myself out of it thinking it wasn't a need, just a want, really for me just because they were so cute.  i never told anyone.  only my God knew i wanted them, and low and behold, He provided them through this sweet friend!  God is in every detail, it just amazes me! 

this had to be the cutest tutu ever!  so fun, and the little lady loves it!  she even wore it to her first church debut on orphan sunday! 

the tribe going through their loot!

ha ha...the kids were scared of this soft and cuddly stuffed dog!  gives you some insight on how they're doing with our giant rottweiler and black lab!  we take it a day at a time around here!
