We were there for a baby shower! As most of you already know, our friend/"sister" Erynn is pregnant and is due with her baby in July. Of course we couldn't miss out on all the fun! We had such fun meeting and hanging out with the girls on Jon's side of the family too. It was almost like we had become family with them too by the time we left!
Jen had such fun at the shower! There was lots of fun, yummy food, they played a really neat game that involved making baby onesies for Nathan, and Erynn was blessed with lots and lots of good stuff. Nathan is one spoiled and loved little guy already - and he's not even here yet!
Greg had fun hanging out with the guys at home playing ball outside and Rockband downstairs. Of course, Noah and studying for his test occupied a lot of his time too. ;)
Noah got spoiled with lots of hugs and kisses. Everyone loved passing him around and playing with him. His Gammy Mangum even bought him a couple of fun things too. =) He even had his first play date with a couple of kids that the Mangum's watched for a few hours on Saturday! =) He sure loves kids - and Caleb's puppy, Joey, too!
Going through the pregnancy with Jon and Erynn (and when Jen was at the shower), we realized it's amazing how much parenthood itself teaches you. No amount of reading "the rules" in books, can ever fully prepare you for the things that lie ahead when it's your first baby (maybe even for the second one too, who knows). Not that we're pro's or anything, but it's been fun helping Erynn and Jon along the way, answering questions, giving advice, helping them register, and tipping them off to some things that we've learned with Noah that have helped us. We've been SO glad to help them, especially when there were some things that no one had ever told US about! Albeit, their situations will probably be different, but for the most part, they're all the same, and we were glad to be there to help answer any and all questions, and alleviate SOME fears. ;)
Less than 7 weeks until baby Nathan is here! We can't wait! =) =) =)
It was SO much fun tonight! We went to see The Wizard of Oz at the Pikes Peak Center! Since that was one of Jen's most favorite movies growing up (she can pretty much quote the whole movie), and the highlight of her trip to Washington D.C. oh so long ago (Dorothy's shoes), Greg surprised her for Valentines Day this year with tickets to see the Broadway musical! =) We definitely enjoyed ourselves and think that we could possibly get into the whole "theater" thing. =)
