Shower continued




The day after the shower, I got out all of the gifts for baby. It was so fun to look at it all again. Baby Holmes is going to look so sharp in his cute outfits!

The cradle is a family cradle that John's Grandpa built. Baby Holmes will be sleeping in the same cradle as John.

Centerpieces



Last weekend we went over to the Quad Cities for a baby shower at John's family's church. We had a wonderful time. John's mom made tons of food and some cute bucket cakes that were "dirt" and "sand" cakes. Baby Holmes received many wonderful gifts. I can't wait to put him in the cute little baby outfits.


Sweet Treats


There was a wonderful treat in the mail for me the other day at work. John sent me some really good chocolate covered strawberries! What a nice surprise. The photo is of the berries when I got home after I ate one!

More Nursery Progress




Nursery Progress







We went shopping for the baby's nursery this weekend. After searching for bedding at every store, we still couldn't find anything that we loved. We decided to put our own set together by picking separate sheets, bumper and crib skirt that all coordinated with cute animal curtains and mobile. We want his room to have several colors. We still have a lot to do, but we are having fun starting to put it together.
