Our really good friends Kate & Dave hosted a couples gift card shower at their house for us (& Carley) along with our other close friends Julie & Colin, Ashley & Wade, Laurie & Drew, Melinda & Matt. We certainly have some really wonderful friends that we cannot thank enough for their love & support! We really had a great time filled with wonderful foods & decorative petits fours, beautiful flowers & a fabulous table presentation, adorable diaper cake (made by Melinda) & "L" napkins and great guests came to celebrate the night. God has truly blessed us in soo many ways!

Week 35 Vegas Vacation
Sean, Alan & Adam took a five day trip to Las Vegas for a "last" get-a-way guys trip! Vegas, Vegas, Vegas...baby! They got an upgrade & stayed at the Treasure Island hotel where they wined & dined all week long on the strip! They went to see the Criss Angel, Believe, Mind Freak magic show at the Luxor Theater. Sean thought it was definitely not worth $100+ for the ticket. That is now money taken out of Carley's college fund. The boys checked out a lot of the hotel casino's while they were there & they all came back with more $$ than they put in! Cha-ching! Who would have thought those good baptist boys were gambling men? The boys had a celeb sighting of Jesse Jackson at the airport! Sean also got stopped at baggage check for having hairspray & a pocket knife! Sean, suspicious? Nah! Glad Sean is back! It is just not the same without him here! Mazie & Polly kitties missed him terribly!
The usual pose. They are BFF's!

Week 35
Week 36
We had a packed full, fun weekend! Sean's work audiology department (Lesley, Laurie, Mary Kay, Janice, Martha, Marilyn, Shannon & Fred) gave us a "Bear Necessities" baby shower for Carley on Friday night! The shower was very, very nice & it was at Janice & Daniel's house! We ate lots of yummy hors d'oeuvres & chili made especially by Janice & Laurie's husband, Tracy! We feasted on a delicious cake too! It was most enjoyable to hang out with Sean's work friends & get to spend some QT with them outside of work! Sean's department is mostly a talkative, energetic group comprised of lots of women...& Sean & Fred! Sean is definitely out numbered by the "X" chromosome!
Marilyn gave Sean a book titled, Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters, 10 Secrets Every Father Should Know!
Yay for diapers & wipes & much more!

Mrs. Hardy's famous zesty corn dip (Thanks to Kate), artichoke dip & pinwheels (Thanks Papa T), veggie tray & cheeses, punch with the smoking dryed ice(Ewww, scary) & finished off with Marcia's "to die for cookies!"

Week 37
Update on lil' Carley this week: MD said that she is "maybe a one" (dialation). Good report on everything else! I guess we have to play the waiting game for Carley & when she is ready to be a "ten", we too hope to be ready! We are getting excited, anxious & nervous, but bottom line, it will be wonderful to finally get to meet our precious angel Carley!
