...who makes these darling, creative bows for little girls...
So we got together for a little all-American fun last Saturday.
Such fun!
And then I came home. I sat on the floor with my two littles (while Wes went on a Cafe Rio run. Which is just what a husband should do when his wife comes home from throwing a baby shower, isn't it?).

I looked at Spencer's marked up cheeks and laughed at the tight hugs he kept giving to my head - completely muffing up my hair. I listened to Lucy chattering and watched her concentrate so hard on her coloring. And I felt such a wash of emotion! I wanted to call Jacque right up and say:
"It's even more exciting than you think!!
You cannot imagine how you will love that baby!"
You cannot imagine how you will love that baby!"
Truly, I could never have imagined how I would love mine.

It is so true! Children are such a joy and wonderful experience. Looks like the shower was super fun.
What a great idea for a shower!
And it's true... you just have no idea until you have one of your own. You might THINK you love someone else's kid like they were your own... but then you have your own little babe and it's so much more!
Amen. And CONGRATULATIONS to Jacque! That is so, so exciting and she will be just an awesome mommy.
this is the 3rd post I've read today about putting children first...somehow I think the universe is trying to tell me something :)
and now I really want cafe rio...
Best baby shower ever Lori! Thank you so much! And thank you for capturing so many great pictures. I cannot wait to have those stories with this little guy like you do with Spencer.
Oh, I know just how you feel. My heart and head are so filled with thoughts and feelings that I can't even muster a coherent blog post! But if I could, this is the most important thing I'd want to say.

I loved seeing pictures of many of my friends! I miss you guys! Thanks for sharing Lori. My little guy is 20 months now and he is SO much more fun than I ever thought boys would be! Congrats Jacque!
I seem to be having those moments more frequently - feeling that rush of emotion and feeling so immensely grateful to be the mother of my wonderful children. I will never understand why so many people in our area choose to have dogs instead of kids?!?
Loved seeing the pictures of good friends....sweet thoughts... and incomprehendable joy....
Girls, those little treasures become your inner strength, your triumphs, and your blessing in every way.... Rich is he who has his quiver full. (or something like that.
Motherhood...You are all involved in the most important work. I sincerely applaud and admire you.
" It is through mother's eyes that children first see the Savior." A paraphrase of a quote that is most true. Amen to Grandma Packer's thoughts. No one will ever need you more than those little ones.
