Showered with Love
This past weekend, my wonderful mom and mom-in-law threw me my first ever baby shower! I had such a great time and was really touched by how generous everyone was towards our growing family.
Here is Linny (my mom-in-law), Mew Mew (my mom) , and me!
All of the delicious food - yummy, yummy!
Cute table decorations!
Lots of love for our little guy.
A cute, little stool monogrammed with our baby's name!
Michael and my dad, who had fun watching a movie during then shower and then got to load up the car afterwards.

Loads of Fun!
Loads of fun, indeed! Thanks to my fantastic new washer and dryer, doing laundry will be even more fun (yes, I'm a freak that enjoys doing laundry). On Monday I came home and was greeted with a new front loading washer and dryer - a wonderful present from my wonderful husband. He explained that these were my present for giving birth to our son. Most people don't get their present until after the birth, but he figured that these would come in handy the next few weeks while I was washing little baby clothes and blankets as one of the final things to do before our baby boy arrives. I love it!! And my apologies for the pictures, we have a pretty small, narrow laundry room, so it was difficult to get a good picture of the shiny new appliances!

Mawage is wot bwings us togeder tooday...
The famous wedding speech from "The Princess Bride" referenced in the title of this post was discussed as part of the wedding ceremony - very fun! Anyways, yesterday the Pretekin's were able to share in Caren and Josh's special day. 
First up was the ceremony. Valet parking was available for the guests and after we parked, we walked a few blocks down to the church. Yesterday was a pretty warm day (in the 90s) and I began to feel pretty light-headed (I knew I should have eaten a little snack before we left...). Luckily I made it into the church, but decided we should sit in the back row, just in case something happened and I needed to leave quickly. Turns I wasn't the only one who was overheated (and maybe had some low blood sugar going on). TWO of the four bridesmaids fainted during the ceremony. Everyone was ok though, and Caren and Josh were able to say their "I do's!" Next up was the reception. It was at the Curtis Hotel. I'd never been there, but it is a pretty neat hotel - very quirky. Apparently every floor is a different, somewhat unusual theme. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures at the reception, but if you ever get a chance, it's definitely a hotel you should check out. We had a wonderful night out, and wish Caren and the Josh love and happiness for many years to come!

Back to School!
A few weeks ago, I began my third year teaching at my current school and my 6th year (!) teaching overall. Tonight was our back to school night, which went great! I had an excellent conversation with some parents of my students who were very informed about special education. It was nice to really be able to talk about what I know and do everyday and help reassure them that there child's learning needs are being met. Since it was back to school night, and first impressions are important, Baby P got a bit dressed up for the event!
Here's my first attempt at using the self-timer to take a picture of the dressed up bump. When you're not used to your new camera and you're moving a bit slower these days, this is the result.
Here's the best picture I got of myself. Not great, but it will have to do since Michael was working late and the bump was ready to be adorned by comfy pj's!
