A Tea Party Baby Shower

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

While in California for our week-long vacation last month, my sister (in-law) and best friend lovingly hosted my baby shower at my mother (in-laws) home.

It was so special and as I wouldn’t be able to do it justice with words, I’ve chosen some of my favorite photos to highlight the special day.

The tea party theme (blue, brown and gold) looked so lovely all set up!

My sister crafted all the decorations by hand. My best friend\'s talents went into making fragrant sugar scrub for favors!

Two Weeks and Counting

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

Calendar Only two more weeks until Kev and I fly back to California to visit with our friends and family! If you can’t tell, I’m excited.

We don’t have a day-by-day itinerary while we’re there, as we mostly plan to relax and unwind, but we do have a few things we want to do.

So far, there’s my baby shower on Saturday, a day trip to Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park (where all the huuuge redwood trees are) and going to see Batman: The Dark Knight as a family unit. Fun, fun, fun!

Personally, considering my energy supply is not what it used to be, I am fine with those being the only planned events for the week! 😆 I want this to be a relaxing vacation, not a trip I come home feeling exhausted from.

Vacation (Back) in California

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

We’re going back to California next month for my baby shower! It’s settled and the tickets have been purchased – Kev and I are flying back for about a week in mid-July, as my sister (in-law, but she’s more like my sister!) and my best friend are throwing me a shower at my mother-in-law’s house!

I am so happy about visiting and getting to see everyone, and I am touched that they are throwing me a baby shower. Since we’re going to be there about a week, Kev and I (and possibly the rest of his family) are planning to go for a day trip to Sequoia and King’s Canyon National Park, where the world’s tallest trees are!

I’ve always wanted to go there, and we never got a chance to visit before we moved, so it’s as good a time as any. True, I won’t be able to do any of my normal hard-core hiking, but I can still enjoy the beauty of nature and take some of the easy trails. 🙂

Even though I am so excited to see everyone, I have to admit I am not at all happy about flying. It’s not that I’m scared of flying (quite the opposite!), it’s that I really, really didn’t want to have to fly while I am pregnant. I know it’s considered okay, if your doctor says your good to go, but I still have my own personal issues about flying while pregnant.

Either way, though, I know the only way to see our families is to fly (and that’s worth it!), so I’m just going to bring what I need to stay as comfortable as possible, get on and pray everything will be okay.
