First, I have to give a huge thank you to these amazing hosteses - Callie and Ange, my dear childhood friends. They are fantastic friends, and they know how to host a shower. They coordinated with several people and provided lots of yummy food. Our moms Sabra and Angie and our aunts Wanda, Julie, and Jody also helped. We also want to thank the Bank of Cave City, specifically John Beller for sharing their new conference/community room. It is a wonderful room for hosting events!
I love these girls!
Edith got several great books! She is going to be a reader.
There was a large pile of beautiful presents!
We received several personalized items including this picture board from Tim and Karen Palmer. Beth was a big help as she recorded all of the gifts.
Among many other things that we already received, my parents got us a birth-5 Baby Book. It is precious and we are ready to fill it with memories.
I loved this box of goodies from Dane's aunt Jody. She got us the cutest stuff including an awesome frame with the letter "E" that matches Edith's room.
Ange made a watermelon baby and Callie made some yummy cupcakes. Angie made her famous sausage balls, mom made a yummy cheese ball and a veggie tray, and my aunt Julie made some delicious chicken pinwheels. We also had some awesome pink punch.
The fireplace was decorated with pom poms and adorable personalized onesies.
Angie quilted a beautiful quilt to match Edith's room! It is truly beautiful and I know she (we) will treasure it always. It matches both her ruffle crib skirt and her curtains. We have a grey, pink, and navy pattern theme. I love the quilt. It is just precious.
Among other things, Angie also made an adorable shirt dress from one of Dane's old button down shirts that is just too sweet for words.
Aunt Wanda helped with the shower! Deanna got an adorable haircut.
Dane and Reid (and Dad- no picture) made an appearance at the end of the shower. Reid wore his pink shirt that we bought for him and Dad to wear to work after the revealment party.
They were very good sports!
Mom and Beth and I in Edith's room colors. ;) I love this picture!
Me with the Dad to be. This guy loves his little girl. He always asks me how "his girls" are doing. :)
Jody got Dane a "New Dad Diaper Duty Belt" with lots of baby supplies,
including gloves and a facemask. ;)
Dane thinks that the gloves are a great idea...
Inez Bristow took all of these great pictures. Thank you Inez for the memories.
We feel overwhelmed by all of the kind and generous gifts that we received in our wonderful hometown. We will be anxious to return home at Christmas and show off our little love.

I can't complete this post without highlighting another major life event - Callie got engaged while I was home!!
Great timing Matt . ;)
Here is the adorable couple earlier in the summer at my parent's house.
I love this girl and I am thrilled for her! We (my family) were able to see Callie on Wednesday when we picked Beth up from the airport. I just couldn't wait until the shower on Saturday. ;) We ate dinner at Zaza's and admired Callie's new bling. I am very excited for her and Matt! They make a great couple, and we are ready to celebrate and prepare for a wedding in ~14 months!! Hooray for fall weddings.
