sprinkled with love.

i am in the mindset that every baby deserves a celebration...and i'm so glad that amy thinks the same way.

she hosted a "sprinkle" for me and elsa this past weekend.

all i can say is that i felt so loved.

it's nice to have friends who are excited for you and the journey you are taking.

who pray for you and who love your children...even one who is on the other side of the world.

here is a peek at the party.

the invite, done by paper and pigtails.

the guests of honor :)

the ladies in attendance...love them all.

and why yes, i am making a spastic face here.  like somebody is inappropriately grabbing my hiney.

hmmmm.

i'm telling ya, if you want someone to host a party for you, you want it to be amy.

she is so creative and crafty.

look what she did for the name tags---they turned into cute hair clips after the party.

the details:

me with the amazing hosts!

thanks amy and kathryn, for putting your heart into this shower.

thanks for loving me...and most importantly, thanks for loving little elsa!

and speaking of elsa, it's been 5 whole weeks since our court date---5 long weeks!

we are hoping that the wait between court and embassy (pick up date) is 8-9 weeks...so, if that's the case, we have less than a month.

i am in a total nesting mode---which, i wasn't expecting, but is a nice surprise.

and when i say nice surprise, i mean that i love it, but my family--not so much.

for me, nesting = throwing things away.

or putting away things before they are even done.

ya know, like somebody is taking a drink, and before they are done i've already put the cup in the dishwasher.

yah, that kind of nesting.

annoying.
