A girls' day to prepare for baby

 A couple weekends ago, Jami and Michelle planned a girls' day as a shower for baby O. We started by meeting a group of about 13 or so of my girlfriends for brunch near our house (I had blackberry creamcheese stuffed french toast. So so so getting that again, I've been thinking about it constantly : )

We drank coffee, ate good food, opened some gifts, and each friend brought a bead and blessing and Michelle made a really neat dream catcher for the baby with each of their beads on it. It was such a nice morning.

After brunch, a smaller group of us - Jami (and her 4 month old Arlo), Michelle, Heather and I - all headed up to Mt. Hood to go apple picking at an orchard, have a picnic and enjoy the gorgeous fall day. We came home with tons of apples, cider, honey and other goodies. Bryce (Heather's husband and Ashley's good childhood friend) came over to our house afterward and we all went out to dinner. All in all, such a fun, beautiful fall day....

Heather took this photo. Beautiful day with great views of Mt. Hood! 



I've made two apple pies since : )

Last week was the rough one, with Ashley's skin surgery and both of us with horrible colds. We laid low as much as possible and still got lots done this last weekend. Bryce came over to help Ashley with some stuff in the basement (which is wrapping up - touch up paint today!) and we're getting all sorts of stuff organized and ready. Getting excited!
