Getting there!!!

I have box full of bridal shower supplies ready to ship to my mom. I bought table clothes and napkins today as well. I'll post a picture. I finished Robin's banner as well.

I really thought I had more to update on but I don't. I will however talk about my big boy now!

Sammy is going to be a Lion for halloween. I bought the costume at Once Upon A Child for $6.50!!! Great deal. He is saying Mamaw and Papaw now. Its pretty cute he shortens it to MoPo now. On a sadder note he got sick for the first time the other night. But i don't think it was the flu I think he may have ate something bad. Poor little guy it was so sad. we are all def excited for the holidays! Sammy's first time trick or treating. Another AWESOME thanksgiving! and christmas at home with the family (also robin's bridal shower).

By the way THANKS to everyone who decided it would be a good idea to let me plan thsi shower. It has made me so very SANE through all that has been happening in my life lately and I could not think of a better person to celebrate than My Robin!

working hard, or hardly working....

Shower update: As I said last time I have center pieces done. Three total. Thank you cards are ready for her. I have a guest book that includes "advice for happy marriage" section for each guest to fill out. I have a few other decorations as well. I have the Invites picked out awaiting ordering. But my big recent creative moment was the "banner" I decided to make. I'm gonna take photos of individual letters (spelling out Robin & Seth) lace a long ribbon through them and use it as a banner. I just ordered print outs of the photos. This is what it will look like... All I have to do now is get plates and cups and that sort of thing. I'm thinking of contacting Robin's mom and asking her to get the sheet cake. I called around to the local bakeries and they didn't have a website where i could view cake designs. So I think if someone local could go and pick out a pretty design I'd feel better about it. Then it could be ordered ahead of time.

When I received the shower package from my good friend Danielle, there was a beautiful angel inside, I thought was for decoration. I have been having a very rough week. We have about 2 whole months before the doctors says we can start trying for baby number 2 again and it just seems like SO far away. And I have a support group of ladies who are also trying to conceive and 3 of them this week have found out that they are pregnant. Well I was looking through the box again and I found a letter that I did not see before from Danielle and in that letter she mentions that the Angel was for me. I cried, and I love it. It is hanging in my bedroom. Thank you, Danielle.

Baby update: You already know some of it. My Ultrasound said that everything was fine. So the doctor said to wait 2 more months then try again. So we are now playing another version of the waiting game.
