Final Stretch

I had a blast with my some of my best girlfriends this weekend. It was my last shower (probably ever... I'm now married with a baby due in a few weeks!) Sniff... sniff.... I'm so old... well, I am excited to shower all these other girls. I love an excuse for all of us to get back together!

These sweet friends, Marg, Brit, Linds, and Anna, and one missing, my old-roomie Kace, threw a wonderful shower that was perfect for me. It was at LOTH- one of my favorite coffee shops. I mean how much better could it get for the Cubbuster?

There were several other mommies in the room with their precious girls too. Caitlyn's first little girl Evie was a great baby.


I loved seeing Katherine! It's been too long girl. She thinks we're having a girl too!
Laur, T, Chris, and Ky all came. It was a college dorm reunion! Love it!

My precious new friends, Lindsay, Chrissi, and Jill have showered me with love and prayers this past year. I am so grateful for them!

I have no clue why I'm making this face, but I loved all the new books for baby Smith! As the English teacher, I hope our baby can read early! :) We'll practice every night.... Matthew will probably practicing with an abacus. We'll have our little dork one way or another.

It's always strange to have people watch me open gifts. It's just humbling to have so much love! Can't wait to use our high chair in the years to come! Thanks girls!


Everyone tried to guess how "big" my bump was (in other words, how fat I've become in the last eight months.) A few think I'm bigger than I look, but thankfully a few think I'm smaller! :) It's all worth it.

Lots of baby girls were around me this weekend. Is that saying something? Well they almost got me to share the names! I'll do anything if you call it a "game." Almost 35 weeks... just a couple weeks before I'm full term. Crazy. Can't wait to meet you Baby Smith

Thank you to all who showered us with love and gifts these past few months. We are beyond blessed. To Him be the glory!

"His legs flail about as if independent from his body!"

If you are a "Friends" watcher as I have been known to be, you will appreciate that quote. I am getting to see the Chandler Bing's greatest fear--Michael Flatley and the "Lord of the Dance" performance. I am so excited! I've seen a lot of different types of performances in my lifetime (even the gravely strange or soberly artistic modern dance shows), but I've never seen an Irish Riverdance! My mom got tickets for us back in October for my birthday. She is so astute and thoughtful! In case you aren't familiar with "Lord of the Dance." Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Mr. Flately's Dance: "Lord of the Dance is an Irish musical and dance production that was created, choreographed, and produced by Irish-American dancer Michael Flatley, who also took a starring role. Michael Flatley found his first fame starring in Riverdance, but he left the show in 1995 before its debut in London after a disagreement over creative control. F

The CubBuster's still got it!

Yes that's right, the Atlanta Braves 2010 opening season began against the infamous Chicago Cubs. My co-worker, office-mate, and dear friend Peter Collman is a baseball (well I guess all sports) fanatic, and knew that to start the season right, he needed to invite the CubBuster to be sure the Braves started the season with a win! The second game of the season started off slow with a 1-0 lead for the Braves, but at the beginning of the 8th, Atlanta was losing to Chicago 2-1. Although others may be slightly tense at this predicament, I was calm and collected knowing I possessed a special gift of busting up on a certain kind of cub. Thank goodness I've still got it (and I guess Chipper still has it too!). Jones hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning and held off the Cubs for a 3-2 win! The CubBuster lives on! Thanks Pete for a fun night! You can see other pics from Turner Field on my Pictures page... ~THE CubBuster

When you smile...

The whole world smiles! This was his very first "conscious smile" Who says you can't dress up little boys for fun too? Silas enjoyed sleeping at the lake instead of fishing or swimming. Anyone surprised? Our newest pastime consists of singing to Silas until he shows us his new array of smiles. Matthew discovered this newest ability when he began singing a classical ballad... I won't embarrass him by naming the lyrics. It doesn't matter how tired you are, this will make everything better! I mean come on. Are you still having a bad day? Did that make it better yet!? Had my  first few outing without the little man to go to coffee, dance, and this beautiful woman's wedding shower. Love you Christi! Thanks to my old roomie for some over-sized coffee mugs to start my day right. A cup of joe and the Word make life worth living. This is his favorite gesture.  I think he's solving the world's problems. That a boy Silas. I knew
