Erin's Baby Shower

Carrie-Anne, Mom and I threw a casual, fun baby shower for dear Erin, who is expecting a little boy any day now. Her due date is Saturday, so we were just under the wire, but not out of the woods.

The kiddos crashed the party at the end. Being with these women again is, as Erin described, "good for my soul." We're in such different places, so it's rare, but sweet when we get together.

We had the shower at a great local coffee house, Land of a Thousand Hills, which had incredible coffee and has a great mission as well to help Rwanda's people. It was wonderfully relaxed.

Some Berean moms, now becoming Berean grandmoms. My parents have been in the same Sunday school class for 25 years, and they're all starting to hit the third generation.

We all went ga-ga over this outfit.
