Our church family group gave us a wonderful baby shower on Sunday! Our friends Anne and Jon (“life is a zoo – Anne†on my sidebar) hosted the shower at their home. I gathered all the amazing gifts on our table when we got home…
Adorable clothes! Can’t wait to see Lainey in these outfits. There is also an adorable “welcome†mini-flag with…yep, a ladybug on it!
More clothes! Plus, 2 so-soft blankets, a night-light ladybug, a stuffed ladybug, a personalized tag for the diaper bag, and an adorable hand-made ladybug bracelet for Lainey. In fact, the bracelet, tag and flannel tie blanket were all handmade by Angie :)
The most surprising gift?? Easy…our 100 Good Wishes Quilt! We were floored that our good friend, Rhonda, had already finished it! It was so emotional, seeing all those squares that I’ve collected for almost 2 years, finally made into a quilt. Take a look, it’s gorgeous…
Here is a close-up…can you see what I see?
ladybugs!! Yes, there are ladybugs embroidered all across the quilt! We adore our quilt!
Here are some more pics from the shower…
That cake was SO good! Chocolate through and through…
It was a couple’s shower, so Randy got to join in on the fun ;)
Smile, ladies!

Oh that is the sweetest thing! All those lovely ladybugs(or ladybirds if you come from where I come from!).
Tell me, is your friend available for 100 wishes quilts? We are having the toughest time finding someone we will trust with our precious squares. It looks like she did the most amazing job!

Oh, that quilt is GORGEOUS!!! Makes ME want to cry, just looking at it, and I’m not Lainey’s mom! Can I be her aunt instead? LOL! I’m so glad you had a shower for your dear sweet one!

THE QUILT IS AWESOME AND BLESSED AT THE SAME TIME !!!
It really turned out so beautiful and colorful.
I love all the clothes, blankets, etc. that you got at the shower. It was so nice of them to give you all a “couples” shower. Randy looked like he was having fun.
Lainey really doesn’t know the wonderful life that she is going to be such a great part of … with a huge family that will love her so much. One of those in the family that will love her is me. (I already do.)

Wow, did they ever give you lots of beautiful clothes, balloons, cake…and the quilt…I LOVE it!!
The best part is the surprise that it was ready and given to you at the shower!! I asked you when we were down for Christmas when would you get the quilt…and you said it wouldn’t be ready for awhile!
Lainey’s wardrobe will be filled with clothes now!! I forgot to mention how adorable the ladybugs are, too! Lainey will look so CUTE in all of these new outfits. How thoughtful of them to do this for Lainey and you guys… Love, Mom
