showers

During these past few months, we have definitely been "showered" with lots of fun celebrations for Baby Hargather!  Each one was so different, but they all brought lots of friends and family together as we prepare to meet our sweet baby.  Here is a snapshot of the three that we were given.  

The first one was an Atlanta shower given by my sweet Hargather family, and a few Atlanta friends.  It was so fun to have my community of girls in Atlanta there to celebrate.  I am continually encouraged that this is the place we have chosen to be our home, and we are blessed by the people we get to do life with.  So grateful for such a great community for our baby to grow up surrounded by. 

The second one was in Augusta and given by some of my long-time favorite people - both of my sisters, my amazing aunts, the friend that I've known since we were in the crib together, Kathryn, and her mama, Mimi.  As infrequently as I get to see some of these folks, I am always so grateful for who they've been in my life.  And how we can all pick up where we left off like no time has passed.  They really have shaped who I am, and I'm so glad they will be a part of our baby's life when we visit.  

The last one was given by one of the most talented and creative people I know, the lovely Dawn Gahan.  Dawn is a dear friend that I've had the privilege of working with for the past 4 1/2 years.  She's not only a co-worker to all of us, but she's pretty much the office therapist.  The glue that holds us all together.  Seriously, if it weren't for Dawn, I'm not sure where we'd all be.  And, as you've witnessed me blog about before, she is so talented.  Any shower, party, or celebration that she is a part of includes the most loving and particular details.  She doesn't miss a thing!  

For more photos of all the details, see Dawn's blog post!

We've got most things washed, set up, and ready to go (well, with a few details still falling into place)!  Now we're just waiting on Baby Hargather to arrive. :)
