this weekend was wonderful! my sweet friend, meg, opened her home for a gathering of some of my closest friends to celebrate little link here in dallas. meg, mollie, jill, barbara, mary and shannon put together quite a baby shower! thanks so much, girls - and thanks to all my friends for joining us. i was a little overwhelmed with so many people traveling into town, making and buying such nice gifts, and all just for us. thanks so much. we are so blessed.

now the countdown begins...it's all just a matter of time before our little man arrives, and BOY, am i ready! i've been a good sport about this whole thing, but wow, month 9 has arrived and it is a tad different. i am ready to get this show on the road and kiss those chubby little cheeks. link, c'mon down whenever you are ready, little guy!!

mollie was sweet enough to share her gift of photography and take pictures for us to share...enjoy!
