Surprise Baby Shower

Last Friday, we went to our Bible Study.  It was the first time Julia attended.  :)  Because it was the first Bible Study of the year, we shared blessings/reflections of 2010 in addition to praying and praising with worship songs.  We also went around sharing prayer requests and spiritual goals for 2011.  When our leader prayed a closing prayer, at the end he said something like, "...and please bless our activities for the rest of the evening."  I remember thinking, "hmmm, maybe we're doing some New Year's activities or something."  Well, shortly after I opened my eyes, Lisa and Christy started placing gift bags in front of me!  They had planned a suprise baby shower for Julia!  I was so surprised and humbled by their kindness.  Ethan had been told about it and was asked to make sure we didn't arrive early so that they had a chance to hide the gifts.  :)  I got some wonderful clothes & baby items for Julia.  Thank you so much, my dear friends in our Bible Study!

Me (and Julia) & Christy (and Caly).  We were "pregnancy buddies" together (see the picture below) and now are both enjoying having a daughter at the same time that are so close in age.  In fact, there are 2 other moms besides us at Bible Study who have baby girls, so there are 4 little baby girls in Bible Study.  :)
