Oh my gosh! Totally overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and gifts from our friends and family! We need a bigger house.
The shower was wonderful.... Mike and Amy did such a good job with the favors, they were a big hit. Mary, Kathy, and my mom planned a couple of games and everything looked so nice.
The cake was yummy, I wish there was more leftover!
Daddy and I went through everything on Sunday night and started washing clothes and putting stuff away. It will be a long process, but we are ready for the babies.
It was an exhausting day, emotionally and physically, but so worth it!
One really special shower gift..... Last Friday my mom came over with a card that had money in it for the babies cribs and dressers. She wrote in the card the story of where the money came from...... Before my Dad was diagnosed with colon cancer, he loved beer and good cigars. Once he was going through all the treatments, he couldn't enjoy the beer or cigars anymore so he started saving the money he would have been spending on them. One day when he was pretty sick, there was a tornado warning and my parents were going to go down to the basement for a while and he told my mom she needed to get his "other wallet." I guess in the course of 4 years he had put his "fun" money in that wallet and she didn't know anything about it. He never got to spend it. Over the past 6 years, neither could she, so she said spending it on the grandbabies would be what he would have wanted, so that is where their cribs are coming from; their grandpa. I'm so glad she didn't give me that gift at the shower!
