The L.A. Dime

we are so very fortunate to have our family and friends plan not one, not two, but three showers for our little Sophie!! Each one was unique and special….read on for my favorite moments from each:Shower # 1 – Hosted by Saundra and Me-Me; having family and long-time friends help celebrate our happiness over the soon-to-arrive little one, every guest creating their very own onesie for Sophie, the poem/message from Sophie (courtesy of proud Grandma Saundra), the large & very tasty selection of foods, the jungle/safari cake and just plain being with everyone that Brad and I love (and miss) so dearly.

Shower # 2 – Hosted by Lupita, Chong, Kelley and Laurie; the “Welcome Sophia” banner that everyone signed with a message, the fun games (the video of Brad carrying a water balloon between his knees almost makes me pee my pants!), all the tasty treats (including that fabulous home-made cake) and all the cute safari animals used for decorations that we got to bring home and now live in the nursery.

Shower # 3 – Hosted by Faleena and Kelly; the hand-made & absolutely adorable invitations, the games (boy, who knew having a friend put a diaper on me would get so personal), watching everyone create onesies that are truly one-of-a-kind, and a super-yummy & beautifully decorated cake from Porto’s.

Brad and I feel so incredibly blessed to have all of you along for this journey. It’s been a long 1.5 years, and you all have been there through the joy, the pain and now the joy again. We couldn’t image doing this without each of you. Whether it’s an encouraging hug, a sweet card, a gift, an offer to cook or babysit or just sharing in our joy — you all are the very best and we thank you so very much for everything, from the bottom of our hearts.
