Shower for 5

One of our gifts was a unique blanket made by one of our friends. It is Auburn on one side and UT on the other. How appropriate!

Paul and I are truly blessed with a wonderful church home. We absolutely love our Sunday School class at Hermitage Hills Baptist Church (www.hermitagehillsbaptist.com) . Even though we have moved further away we intend to stay at HHBC as long as we feel led. On Sunday afternoon our Sunday School class hosted a "Baby Shower for 5". There is a baby boom in our class! Five of us were expecting within about 8 weeks of each other. Instead of doing a shower for each, we had a combined shower. Two of us have actually already had our babies, both of which arrived early. The main focus of the shower was a time of prayer, praise and celebration of new life. Each of us moms submitted specific areas in our lives that we wanted prayer. We took turns sitting on a sofa and being surrounded by the ladies in our class who prayed aloud for our specific needs. It was very moving and really meant a lot to me. It was the first time I had been away from the little guy and of course I was reluctant to leave. Paul had babysitting duties which he did beautifully.
