Hey ABC, I see you've begun the search for the next Bachelor and I'm wondering-- is that really necessary? If you know what's good for you, you'll stop looking and make every female in America happy… I'm not just suggesting Sean Lowe because he played football at the best school in the world…or because I secretly hope that you'll plan a date in Manhattan (perhaps a picnic on the 50 yard line of BSFS?) He just seems like the nicest, most genuine person on earth--and I think ...
I Love Lamp
After a productive weekend, I'm REALLY anxious to share nursery pictures--but there are still a few things left to do before it's officially ready. I'm going to attempt (<--key word) to make a rug and I think we may find a few more trinkets at First Fridays this week before heading to my cousin's wedding in Iowa. In the meantime though, I thought I'd show you some pictures of a little lamp makeover I did this weekend. My mom has a good eye and spotted this adorable milk glass ...
He’s Got Game
Just found this video from our trip home last weekend. Not only is he the cutest 2-year-old on earth, but he's quite the athlete too… ...
Lucky.
We are so lucky. Not in the win-the-lottery kind of way, but more so in the fact that Chris and I have the most amazing friends and family. I've always known this, however, the whole "bringing a baby into the world" thing makes it even more apparent. This Saturday my sister, sister-in-law, and mom threw us the most adorable baby shower. I told them nothing special--some punch and cake would be more than enough. Clearly they didn't listen... My mom broke out the ...
30 Weeks!
At 30 weeks, part of me feels like I've been pregnant longer than Jessica Simpson….but it's also crazy to think that in 10 weeks (give or take) we'll have a baby in our arms! At this point, things are going great and we're just hoping they'll continue that way until mid-late August. Here's a little 30 week update. How far along: 30 weeks Size of Baby C: 3 lbs, 15.7 inches Fruit/vegetable comparison (according to Baby Center): Head of cabbage Total ...
Gower Family Reunion: Collage Overload
It's a fact--I take too many pictures. So in an effort to not make you page down 33 times in one post, I got a little collage-happy. First is the Instagram version of our long weekend in the Ozarks. Maren showing off her photog skills, "Will Capone" looking cute, my mom and I having a little too much fun at the maternity store...and some pontoon entertainment. Like most years, we spent a lot of time at the pool dodging the kids' squirt-gun shots and chatting with ...
