Showered

My amazing friends Madeleine, Cassie, and Sarah threw me the most wonderful baby shower! The theme was "cruising into parenthood" and it started with the cutest nautical themed invitations and ended with the most adorable favors. The food was set up as the different ports of call we used to frequent most: the Caribbean, Mexico, and Alaska. For a fun game we played name that tune with baby songs for our "onboard entertainment". The whole day was great and my mom was even able to fly up for the event! I received the most generous gifts and we now have more clothes than we know what to do with. I can't wait to dress him in all the adorable new outfits. We are so lucky to be surrounded by so many great friends here!Mexico & Alaska! For lunch we had shredded chicken soft tacos, 2 great salads, chips, guacamole and salsa. "Alaska" was the drinks

"The Caribbean"-my favorite red velvet cupcakes!

I wish I had more pictures of everyone there, but I only have a few...

Birthday #1 with Homemade Strawberry Shortcake

Birthday #2 at Morton's
Birthday #3 with Nothing Bundt Cake Another day, another birthday celebration. We've sung Happy Birthday to Christian 4 different times over the last week and he is now just one year away from the big 3-0! On his actual birthday I had to work late so he happily invited Greg to fill in at dinner. Later that evening we opened presents. Chris & Cindy gave him some great clothes for work and I gave Christian some new running shoes and work out clothes. While my mom was in town for the shower she also treated us to a delicious meal at Morton's Steakhouse to celebrate! Happy Birthday Christian!!

Progress

I can't believe how long it has been since I've blogged. Our lives have felt a little like the movie Groundhog Day. Everything seems to revolve around remodeling, work, and more remodeling. Christian has been amazing and spends nearly every free moment working on the condo. I feel like the only change is the size of my belly which seems to literally be growing by the day. The people at Home Depot now know me and ask how that baby is doing when I walk in. Anyway, this week marked a major milestone in this whole project. The first piece of dry wall went up. That might not seem like a big deal, but it means our cabinets can go in, the plumbing is done, we have all new windows, and the electrical is just about done!! Also, we finally broke and paid someone to tile and finish the bathrooms! Slowly, but surely, we are getting there!
