Lots Going On!

We have been so busy lately getting everything ready for Luke to make his big arrival. I can't believe that in about 8 weeks there will be a little boy laying in the crib and wearing the clothes in the closet. The sock monkey that has been our "dummy child" for everything from the swaddle lesson to the mini me backpack thing is in for a rude awakening.

A couple of weekends ago we had our first baby shower here in The LJ. Our sweet friends the Gilberts and Kyra hosted it and we had so much fun. I don't have any pictures to post of that right now because in all the hustle and bustle, baby brain took over and I did not take one picture. I know people out there have some but I just haven't got my hands on them yet. We were so spoiled we got A TON of things and everyone was asked to bring a book to start Luke's library. That was the most fun for me. Every time I pulled out a new book I got excited. We got books that I loved as a kid like "Robert and the Rose Parade" and "One Fish Two Fish." Tommy told me later that night that he thought it was funny that I got so excited because he had never heard of ANY of the books we got including "Where The Wild Things Are." But don't sit around and worry about this, I promptly sat him down and read all of the essentials, I mean seriously his son can not be born to a man who has never read "One Fish Two Fish" or "Go Dog Go." It just can't happen, I won't let it. So, crisis averted.

After our shower we went to Silsbee for Zackary's birthday party. That kid is just the cutest thing I have ever seen. He is so much fun. It is hard to believe he is walking now. He loves when people play the guitar so naturally he got one for his birthday day and I am telling you we have a prodigy on our hands. He holds it just like you are supposed to and positions his fingers as if he has a pick in them, it is hysterical. I can't wait to see these two boys playing together.

How Old Is Zackary?

He loves his guitar.

Besides all of that we have just been busy trying to get his room all put together. I have a couple of pictures of it but if I can get some better ones I will post those too. My Aunt Joy made the all bedding and curtains and they are perfect. His curtains even have his initials on them. It has become my favorite room in the whole house and every time I go in there I just smile. He is one blessed little boy to have so many people love him.

Please don't look at the mess on the dresser I am still trying to get organized.

And for all of you our there that have been nagging me about belly pictures (Angie!) here is another one. Also I have added a new feature to the blog, over on the right hand side you can sign up to get e mails sent to yourself when I update, that way you will always know if there is something new up and maybe that will entice some of you to leave comments so that I know people are actually reading this and I am not just rambling on to no one.
