::showering laura and august::

This past weekend, I had the honor of hosting my best friend, Laura's, baby shower. Little August is due May 17th, and I can hardly wait to meet him! I had the best time planning the shower and making the decor. I, however, did not make all that delicious food, several of our friends from church were responsible for that, and Laura's talented sister made the awesome cookie dough cupcakes.

Guests all made custom onesies for August, using iron ons. I highly suggest this Pinterest inspired idea for baby showers. Laura was thrilled to have so many cute basics in a variety of sizes to fill August's closet with. 

Congratulations on your little one, Laura and Caleb. Being a parent is the best thing in the world. I couldn't be happier for the two of you. August is one lucky little dude.

Motley's Tree Farm

I'm behind on blogging. We've been so busy lately, I just haven't been able to keep up.  I did, however, want to share a few pictures from our trip to Motley's Tree Farm a week ago. 

We started going with the Gunnels to get our trees three years ago, and this year we got to bring Elliott. He loved taking it all in from the Baby Bjorn. I'm already looking forward to next year when baby Gunnels will be with us! 

We got the perfect tree which is now happily residing in our living room covered in our favorite ornaments and filling our home with Holiday cheer.

Mountains Beyond Mountains.

Yesterday after work we made the drive down I-40 to Memphis for the Arcade Fire concert at the Orpheum. Laura and Caleb rode down with us, and we met several other friends from Epoch at the show.  They were amazing! The lead singer's wife was too cute...she had the best style, played every instrument under the sun, and twirled around like a ballerina.  We got home late, but it was worth the sleep deprivation at work today.
