. a few babies on the way .

Today was a really special day. I had the privilege of throwing a baby shower for my dear friend Mauria and it was a lot of fun to hang out with so many sweet gals!
Mauria has many wonderful friends and it was a treat to get to laugh and "be girls" together and shower her with cute baby boy things. It was also special when we, as a group, got to vocalize what an exceptional woman and friend Mauria is to us. She is an encourager, a thoughtful and caring person, and a friend you can always call. She also has a memory of steel and a fantastic sense of humor! :) We've all been so blessed by her friendship!
This b/w photo is a pregnancy time line of those of us from the shower that are expecting! There were a lot of us! (Thanks for snapping this photo, Annie!)
This next photo is of Mauria (on right) with friend Erin. Aren't they just so beautiful? I thought they looked so radiant in this picture and had to share their "glow" with you. :)
