English Baby Shower

This weekend it was the Baby Shower for all our English-speaking friends. Thanks to Rachelle Bennie who organized the shower and Auntie Jean Mataya who hosted it.



Auntie Jean made the best Chinese food for brunch... Everyone left stuffed. I showed up for the food, but left the rest to the ladies...



And the cake was out-of-this-world!!



Of course, there were tons of gifts for Bibi to open.



And a good time was had by all...



Thank you so much to everyone for all the gifts and your friendship. We can't wait for Brianna to meet all of you.

Spanish Baby Shower

Bibi's Aunt, Elba Fayard, threw the Baby Shower for all of Bibi's Spanish-speaking friends.

They had a great time playing games, eating and, of course, watching Bibi open all the gifts...



There were tons of gifts and Elba gave Bibi a hand-made photo album with pictures from the shower... precious!!



There is always GREAT food when friends are around, and the highlight was the cake.



Bibi was touched by the love and generocity shown by all our friends.





Gracias a todos por una fiesta tan espectacular! Estamos muy agradecidos a Dios por cada uno de ustedes y contentos que forman parte de nuestra gran "familia".

4 weeks away and her room is almost ready ....

Here's Brianna's Room! We can hardly wait to meet her! Our doctor said that our small bundle of joy is in the 27th percentile, which means she'll weigh between 6 and 7 pounds. And her head is already perfectly positioned for birth! What a miracle!


Grandma Pierson has generously contributed some very cute stuffed animals to Bri's little collection!


Here's her crib ... ready for the most precious baby girl! Thanks again for all your wonderful and encouraging messages and prayers. They'll come ever more handy during labor and delivery!
