Last week we were given a "Double Diaper Pounding" Shower by lots of the sweet ladies at church. Our church is obviously such a blessing in our lives. Todd and I met at our church in the seventh grade. We both accepted Christ and were baptized at our church. We served together as youth interns through college. We were married there. We petitioned for and received the overwhelmeing support that helped us bring our daughter home from Taiwan. And now Todd is on staff there. It is home to us and we are so loved there. We definitely could not ask for more!!
The women that work in Todd's department and the women that work in Grandmommy Lezlie's office hosted this fun cowboy themed shower. Each of them have been such a source of excitement and encouragement from the moment we told them about our baby boys!
Laney helped me open lots of our presents. We opened tons of diapers and wipes!!!! I tallied them up and we are now the proud owners of 1,844 diapers in sizes Newborn through 3's. I can barely believe how tiny those little Newborns are. They seriously look like they are for Laney's dolls. I have never worked with anything smaller than a 3, which is what Laney came home wearing. Those itty bitty little diapers are such a tangible reminder that our teeny tiny twinsies are coming and they are coming soon!!!
Jess and I tried to do the math and figure out how long 1,800 diapers will last us, and we came up with a tentative 3 1/2 months. Holy Moly!!!! That's a lot of diapers and not a lot of months!!!!
Our sweet friend, Miss Denise, made sure that Laney had her very own present to open and her brand new coloring book and crayons went to immediate use!
We got not one but TWO cutie pie custom made western quilts!!! I love this picture of Laney letting us all know that she is glad there is going to be a little girly pink represented in her brothers' room!!!
Towards the end of the party, Laney decided that the cooler full of ice was another gift for her to open and play with!!
Hundreds of diapers for my brothers and a cup of ice for me....Awesome!!!!
All this showering is a testimony of how much Todd's co-workers love him and want to bless him. I know that he is so deservedly loved by the people that he works alongside of!
This was the second cart full of goodies that Todd, Jared, and Shane rolled out and loaded into our truck!!! Amazing!! I had to use Laney's wagon to unload it all, making lots of trips, and it is all still in the middle of our living room floor.
We gotta clear out the boys' closet!
I love getting together with Kamryn. She is so so sweet and she and Laney seem to have so much fun together. We were a little concerned that they were going to jump right in at this point, but they saved that for later!
The girls climbed up on this rock to get a better view of all the turtles!
Laney is really interested in squirrels lately. We have been taking afternoon walks, with her baby stroller, looking for squirrels in our neighborhood. Well, I wasn't surprised to find out that Kamryn also loves squirrels, because they seem to be so so similar about so many things. They were racing across the grass to see a squirrel up close!
Laney was trying to get Kamryn, or Kamra as she kept calling her, to hide with her behind this tree, but Kamryn was already off on another adventure.
They stopped to splash their toes in this little stream for a little while. Then it was their hands, and we had to get them outta there before they were tummy down wallowing in the yucky water.
Laney found another rock to climb and was loving it. She did almost crash hard off of this one, making me really nervous. Jenn was there to catch her as I am not moving at top speed these days.
We ate at "Daddy Sam's" and Laney found so many fun things to entertain her. She especially loved standing on this huge scale and swinging the weights around. I am not sure what the scale was supposed to be measuring, but it must have been something huge, because Laney's weight didn't even register.
She kept climbing in and saying, "Shut the Door!!!"
