All I can say is WOW! I have dreamed for years of having my very own baby shower (sorry if that sounds selfish :) I love going to others showers and looking at all the fun decorations and oohing over all those adorable baby clothes! I also have an obsession with buying baby clothes ;) So, when this day finally arrived, and it was a baby shower for MY baby, I really didn't know what to think!! This post is going to be mainly pictures from our shower that all of our buddies from church threw together for us in literally 1 week! I am amazed at the number of people who came to support us, and also everything that was organized in such a short amount of time. These ladies are incredible. I hope if you are involved in a church body that you have women(and men) to call on in a time of need like I do! Not only have these sweet families prayed for us and encouraged us over the years, but since Delaney has joined our family, they have not stopped providing kind words, presents and meals!! I literally cannot thank them enough! Here are just a few of the special people that made our shower one to remember...

| All of these ladies consider themselves related to Delaney!! |
We had yummy barbeque, salad and an adorable cake that a lady in our church made. I know where I am getting Delaney's 1st birthday cake from!!
I still cannot believe how many gifts Delaney got!! Several people made some cute things for us to hang on her wall!!
 |
| I love this!! The letter is made out of buttons. |
 |
| This is a timeout stool. It has her name on the bottom!! |
 |
| Love this from Tina :) |
I was so worried I wouldn't have anything to hang on her walls! I now have about 5 or 6 prints to hang plus another sweet friend is doing her name out of wooden letters and hanging them with ribbon. I can't wait!!

I know I'm going in reverse, but I needed to post a few more pics too! Friday night my buddy from school, Amanda, came over with her husband Matt and their little boy Noah. I was SO excited to see them. As much as I love being a mommy and getting to stay home, I do miss school, especially the girls I work with.
Yesterday my dad, stepmom, and brother came in to meet sweet Delaney! We hung out and ate lunch, and then they came to the shower for a little bit. We also took a few pics of our sweet family of 3.
