When Wret was just over a month old, we had a very special visit from my sister Bethany, whom we affectionately call Auntie B. It was her first time to meet Wret. She traveled over for the weekend with my aunt and uncle. The evening she arrived also happened to be Wret's baby shower! It was an added blessing to have her here for that. Here we are getting ready to go.
I hadn't expected to have a shower, but one of the ladies in our church graciously offered to host one. It was such a blessing and a much needed time out with friends after being fairly housebound after Wret's arrival. They combined the shower with another lady from church as well. It was a lot of fun to have a joint shower! Because she was having a girl and Wret is obviously a boy, they settled on Dr. Seuss as the theme, a neutral subject. Such fun!
I have actually had very little exposure to the Dr. Seuss books, but this shower has definitely peaked my interest. I can't wait to read them all to my kids. They made food to represent several books, and they did an amazing job!
Of course there were many wonderful gifts to open! Several darling summer outfits and LOTS of childrens books, which I'm thrilled about!

The rest of the weekend we spent with Bethany, playing and just hanging out. She got lots of snuggles in, too!
That weekend was also my mom's birthday, so we had everyone up for dinner one day. It was very special to get to celebrate her special day and the arrival of Wret all at the same time.
