I'm going to be an aunt :)

It is no secret. I am SO excited. Jeff (my lil' brother) and Jen are going to have a baby. And this new little one is due to arrive SOON!

Jeff is my only sibling so this will be my first time becoming an AUNT! I can get emotional very easily when thinking about getting to meet this new little one, and picturing Jeff becoming a dad. There is something so powerful about that. And Jen is my brother's soulmate. She is wonderful. I can easily see her in a mom role - she'll be a natural for sure. Those two are going to have a blast being parents. And the gender is a surprise!! Can't wait to find out if Tay and Cam are going to have a little boy or girl cousin. :o)

So, with a baby coming, we got to have a couple of fun baby showers! 

First was with my mom's side over on the east side of the state where my grandma lives. PInk and blue balloons, pink and blue cupcakes, and a fantastic brunch. :)

Camryn was a big fan of the food - the girl loves scrambled eggs, can you tell? :)

Jen has the cutest baby bump :)

Putting our fingerprints on the "family" tree - such a neat idea for a piece to hang in the baby's room!

Cam thought it would be a good idea to play with Tay's little {clean} potty (we were in the thick of potty training, and this thing went everywhere with us!)

Little Charlevoix shirt for future Parker :)

Cake (well actually boston cream pie) cutting - both for baby shower and to celebrate Jeff's bday

Love this last picture - Jen's already a natural :)

Can't wait for baby Parker to arrive - and you KNOW I will blog when it happens!! :D
