Welcoming Ava: I Am Blessed!

Kaly & I

My incredible friends Gail & Kaly threw me a fabulous shower in Bay City on April 10th. I can't even tell you how much this meant to me, and it was one of my favorite days ever. So many wonderful friends surrounded me, and it was great to see everyone! I enjoyed visiting with everyone, incredible food (courtesy of Petit Four Bakery), and really fun, thoughtful presents that Ava will absolutely love. There were so many fun details that made the day extra-special (gorgeous hydrangeas, scrapbook project, shower favors that doubled as plantable flower seeds - so cute!). Everything was just perfect (minus the heatwave that day, but given the crappy Spring we've had, I really can't complain about that!) Thanks to everyone for coming, and thanks again to Kaly & Gail for being the best shower hostesses EVER! Love you all! xoxo

Go Blue! Ava will be all set for her first tailgate this fall!

Mom Green knit a gorgeous blanket for Ava. It's hanging on her crib, ready for lots of use!

So glad Melanie & Dana could make it!

Kristine (ready to pop!) and I bumped baby bellies :) Her little guy Connor has arrived in the meantime and is so very precious. Love him!
