April Showers Bring Mayflowers...

... what do Mayflowers bring?  Babies!

It is crazy to think that so many of my friends have made the transition from wedding showers to baby showers but it's happening!  This past weekend I was able to help celebrate baby Myles Fendley who will be making his appearance in June.  I'm so thrilled for Matt and Marieke and Aunt Shan cannot wait to spoil this precious boy.  I had a great time catching up with old friends and learning about new baby gadgets.  We played "Name that Song" baby style and hand crafted onesies for the newest edition. 

I would generally consider myself crafty but I prefer thinking about my projects long and hard prior to executing them. This wouldn't have been an issue had I been warned arts and crafts were going to be involved.  Yes, all of the guests created personalized onesies for baby Myles.  In the time since the shower I've come up with amazing ideas and am fully prepared to paint pen, sponge paint, and create onesies at the next baby shower so someone, PUHLEEZE plan on popping a kid out soon so I can redeem myself.

Okay, so the shark onesie is my creation and I feel like I need to explain myself (which is how you really know it's terrible).  The shark is supposed to be on the 'pocket' but it really just looks like I did a terrible job centering the stencil.  Also, if I'm being completely honest it took three attempts to get the monogram right and I use the term right loosely.  Hopefully Marieke will save this one for a "don't leave the house sick day" and not force an innocent child to wear it in public.

Regardless of my failed attempt to create a onesie masterpiece it really was great seeing these girls again.  Six years is really too long.

 

Congrats Matt and Marieke.  Baby Myles hit the jackpot with the two of you as parents.  xoxo
