The Workplace Shower

My friends and coworkers were kind enough to give us a shower this past week. They went way out of their way to celebrate Henry with us. It was a fun time to visit after work and open fun baby gifts. The shower was extra special because Jules and Anna came to town for it and spent the night with us. I was so proud she made it to one of my showers. It meant a lot to have Henry's Juju there with me....and Anna too! This was our final shower. We feel so blessed to have all we need to create a nice and fun environment for our baby boy.
The Shower Hosts - These are the great people I work with everyday in the marketing department.

The Cake - They knew I loved this saying and had the cake made to match it. It was as tasty as it was cute.

I had no idea how puffy and swollen I was in these pictures until today. Little did I know I would be in a hospital gown 24 hours later because of it. Mercy.

Henry's Aunt Juju and cousin Anna Kathryn.
We are still the only girls. Yay!

Anna getting a drink out of the duck tub with the help of Melissa. I loved how they used the tub for an ice chest. Anna loved it. She has always loved a rubber duck.
They all guessed the day Henry would be born, his weight, the time, hair color and length.
They winner gets a gift from the marketing department. Too cute.
Anna gave Henry a fork. This fork was from her little play tea set. She wrapped it herself in Christmas paper with lots of tape and a ribbon. She was so proud and I must say, it is one of my favorite gifts, ever.
Wow. What to tackle next?
My friend and coworker, Deania made this scrapbook for me. All I have to do is place pictures in it. I love the time and creativity she put into it.

My marketing coworkers got us the pack n play.
Anna loves that Henry will sleep in it at her house.

Books. Henry will be smart!

Who knew a Diaper Genie could provoke such a smile.

Henry's classic car.
A few of my coworkers and friends bought Henry this fun 3 in 1 activity seat.

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good p...

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu...
