We are trying desperately to fit everything in before we get "the call."
Last night, we hosted our youth Bible Study group for a cookout (turned to pizza party due to the a.m. weather). We said goodbye to a couple of them that will be moving away this fall. But it was a great evening - so relaxing! We even enjoyed a new game - Flapdoodle. It's a hilarious game that gets you to do some pretty embarrassing things. :) It was so much fun! These kids have blessed our lives tremendously and we love them!
This weekend, my sisters and I will be hosting a family shower on Saturday morning for Ashley (Elliot's fiancee). It's a brunch at my house but each of my sisters is pitching in something. I can't wait to have everyone! Saturday night, we will have Stephanie's personal/bachelorette party - also at my house. We came up with what I hope will be a fun theme - wine, cheese, and chocolate. We invited her closest friends and we will shower her with those fun little items. :) I hope it will be a great evening that she always remembers!
In preparation for all the festivities, we will be:
-steam cleaning the carpets - they are horrible!
-putting together favors
-planning games/activities
-making food
-cleaning bathrooms
-decorating
-shopping for last minute things
I really do love entertaining and planning events! I can't wait for it all to be here even though I still have much to do! I'm off to get busy... :)

The parties sound like fun, but the prep less so! (from one helping with it :)

Hi! I followed you through Christy's blog, Our Adoption Journey. Wanted to pop over and say 'hi' as a fellow adoptive mom! Visit if you can
Hope you don't mind my following as you wait for #3. I'd like to read more later about how it happened unexpectedly!
Blessings!
You sound super busy! Good luck with everything and I'm certain that it will all go well, from parties to new baby!!!!!
I know, I'm starting to get that frantic feeling of the calm before the storm :)
