Spring Break in Florida

We spent Spring Break in Florida. We had fun on the beautiful white sand beach and even more fun spending time with family! It was an awesome trip!

The biggest reason for our trip was to spend time with my Momma Dale. She is fighting stage 4 breast cancer and has been given 6 months to live (though we are praying for more). She is such an inspiration - meeting this terminal illness head to head with such grace, dignity and faith! These moments with her were priceless!

 

Miguel is 5 months old!!

Miguel is 5 months old today! He is becoming a very happy baby. He smiles easy and it doesn't take much anymore to make him laugh. He is a total momma's boy and showers me with hugs and kisses on a daily basis! Watch him growing:

Rachel's Baby Shower

As most of you know, my little sister, Rachel, is expecting triplets. Last weekend I helped throw her a baby shower!! Here are some pictures from our fun time!

The welcome table. Guests entered to win a raffle by addressing an envelope (Rachel will later use these for her Thank You cards). They also entered a contest to see who could come up with the closest answer for the number of diapers the Stepanov Triplets will use their first year. At 70 diapers a week per baby, the answer was 10,920 diapers! Believe it or not...one guest answered 10,950!

I believe she has that "pregnant glow"!

The hostesses (Barbie, Momma, and myself) and Rachel.

It was a nesting theme, so we made cupcakes to look like bird nests.

The beloved toilet paper game:
