Baby Shower!

A few weeks ago we went to the baby shower for Rachel T. and baby Christine. 
One of the moms who has 11 children of her own spoke about being a mother.  Since Rachel's husband is in the Marines, she used their motto: The few. The proud. The Marines. and changed it to something like: The few. The humble. The strong.  Oh wow! She did an amazing job, I wish I had taken notes. (I also wish I had gotten a good picture of the baby....)
While Rachel opened gifts, we ate lemon cake and visited. :)

We enjoyed the opportunity to be with good friends we don't get to see very often. :)  And of course it was fun to be around Christians who love children and babies, and see them as a blessing!

Thanks for sharing the photos. That is one of the many events I have taken pictures at in the last month and haven't shared with anyone:) It was really good to see your pictures! That's a really cute one of Rachel. I took a video of Mrs. L's talk, if you'd like to see it again.
Blessings,
Mrs. Gunn
