Today we celebrated a little life-on-the-way. It was a super fun celebration for a mama-to-be and her baby who we are so excited to meet. I have to say, for the record, that I adore baby showers. I love having a room full of girls of all ages celebrating motherhood. There is something so powerful that happens at a baby shower. The preggers mama is affirmed and encouraged, older moms talk about when their kids were babies, younger moms bond over their shared sleep deprivation and all of the women swoon over tiny baby clothes, laugh about breast pumps and everyone eats lots of good food. I just plain love a baby shower.
Emily's shower was a barnyard theme based on their baby's nursery. I was put in charge of decorations and loved having the chance to get my creative juices flowing again. It had been a while.I am posting a lot of pictures tonight so that Emily's family can see some shots from the event. They were snowed in today in Albert Lea (holy cats Minnesota! this winter is unbelievable!) and so they couldn't come to the shower. We missed them, but obviously the roads were and still are horrible. Hopefully these pictures will help set the scene:
Trudy gave a great devotional and then her girls sang a song about prayer. The whole shower centered on prayer and trust and faith. Have I mentioned yet how much I LOVE baby showers?!!
And here's the planning team with the mama-to-be. We're so excited to meet Baby Boy P!

Oh, I am so happy to hear that you went on with the Shower today!! And, it looks like everybody showed up. Minnesotans are awesome!! I've thought about you, prayed for you many times today. The decor is so creative!! The food looks great! I can only assume that the girls drinking milk out of that cow are part of a game! My favorite thing was seeing thhe little red hearts on which everyone wrote a prayer for Baby Boy Poeschel! I'm praying from a distance.
Becca, so cute! I am praying for baby P too. I love your decorations, and your pictures!
