Babies, Boats, and Fun!

This weekend we have Jordan's mom and step-dad visiting and John Michael is having so much fun having someone else to play with!  They are really enjoying playing with John Michael and watching him "try" and walk!  He's so funny trying to learn how to walk.  We just hold onto his hands and he off he goes!

Saturday morning we hosted a church shower for Vonda, who is expecting in May!  She had the biggest shower.  I've never seen so many presents.  She opened presents for two or more hours!  Baby Brandon will not need any Johnson's products, Desitin, footed sleepers, or blankets anytime within the next year.

I didn't get to take too many more pictures because I wrote down all of Vonda's presents for her.  We have had a baby boom in our Sunday School class.  We've already had a few born in the last few months and we've got a few more on the way!  We also had another joyful announcement today.  It's just a fun time of celebration to be able to celebrate babies, which are most definitely a gift from God.

Saturday afternoon after we ate Thai food, we headed to the Boat Show that was in town.  We went to pick out our dream boat that we'll probably never own!  It's fun just to go look, though!  My camera batteries went out so I only got a few pictures of John Michael posing beside the BIG boats!

The nice thing about having grandparents in town is they can take pictures of us as a family.  When it's just Jordan and myself we just end up taking pictures of one or the other of us with John Michael.  After church we posed in front of the fireplace for family pictures of us all dressed up!

We have a fun week ahead with lots of love in store for John Michael from his grandparents.  We'll head to Gymboree, eat lots of good food, host playgroup at our house, and generally enjoy having family up for a visit.  Now, if only we could get Meme and Papa up for a visit.......

Verse O' the Day:

He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

I love JM's outfit - I tried to order that one for Wells, but they didn't have his size! Isn't it nice to get family pics? We have the same problem - especially when we're all dressed up for Sunday. Have a great week!
