KK is my mom's name, well that is what she has come up with for Cole to call her. I just had to share (I wish I had pictures). My mom's 3rd grade class had a grandmother shower for her. Yes, a grandmother shower. She called me a few weeks back and asked me if I had ever heard of one, I had not, but the idea was great. She has a great class with the sweetest parents. One of the mothers hosted the shower at her house. The whole class was invited, but only one boy was there (his mom is the one who hosted, so he was stuck:). All the girls came with their mothers and a few grandmothers even came. It was so sweet! We had punch, pettifor cakes (my favorite cake ever), fruit, cookies and nuts. Then it was time to open gifts! She got the perfect variety of things that she would need. I sat their as she opened all the presents and forgot to take pictures, not even one. I was so disappointed. It was just the sweetest thing. She got diapers, wipes, shampoo, lotion, sippy cups, a diaper bag (monogrammed with KK on it), some onesies, a gown to sleep in, hooded baby towels, a little baby seat with tray to sit in chair for him to eat at, a tummy play mate, a photo album, a frame, an infant seat, and a grandma bracelet she can gave monogrammed with his name and birth date after he arrives. She was over the moon with joy! It was so fun to see her so excited. So now Cole is ready to go to KK's, which she announced to everyone at the shower she had her first baby sitting gig. I have been asked to speak at a conference, so I asked her if she could watch Cole for a few hours on June 2nd while I go speak, of course she said yes. I will tell you one thing, my mom is SO excited for this little guy to come. I love seeing her so excited!

I also had some friends from college come in for a mini-baby shower. It was so nice. It was really great to just seem them and get to spend time together. It really meant a lot, especially with everyone's busy schedules. They all came to Nashville and we celebrated Cole and Kyndal (Nneka is pregnant and due about two weeks behind me). Here are a few pictures of the showers...

This was a friend shower that my dear friends (Lisa, Beth, Mrs. Purkey) and family (Pam) gave me. It was beautiful and so sweet.
