HER NAME IS...


Maggie Fulmer Faye

After months of trying to decide on Lil Bit's name, we've finally decided and it was one of the names on the top of our list in the beginning. I don't know why it was so hard to choose her name. Boo's name came pretty easily, but his is a family name, so maybe that had something to do with it.

We had it narrowed down to two names and Maggie just makes me smile! I mean, it's super cute, right? And, Boo started praying for "Maggie" while we were in SC when we said prayers before bedtime. He did it on his own too...no prompting from me. We normally would pray for Lil Bit and one day he said, Maggie. So, that definitely tugged at my heart. And so, now she has a name! Yay!


Yesterday, my friend K hosted a baby shower for me! It was so much fun! She did a pumpkin theme and everything was so cute. My Texas momtourage has been so great to us since moving here. They just welcomed me from the start and I am very grateful for them. Here are some pics of the afternoon.
K and me
K really pulled off a great shower and has been through a lot lately.
Her hubby recently returned from a deployment to Iraq, she just had sinus surgery, and just had her floors torn up and replaced in her house. She amazes me!




K's pumpkin cake. It was delicious!!
Yes, she made it herself...she has cake skills!

Pumpkin cake pops...also delicious.


All of the yummy treats.


Momtourage


Enjoying time with just the moms


I told you the cake was good.


C is also pregnant. She's due in January with a little girl of her own.
She made some of her gifts. This is a blanket that hooks on to the infant carrier, a stroller, or around the baby bjorn, etc.



More homemade treats from my friend M.
She made these cute headbands with flower clips.


More goodies.


Maggie and I had a great time and thank all of our friends for showering us!

You manage to find the best friends wherever you go! And you did it again in Tx. What a wonderful cake and fixings. Maybe she will offer a cake decorating class 201 (now that you have completed the 101 version). And you could take Sewing 101 from your other friend. Looks as though everyone was enjoying just being with the girls and no one else tagging along. Love you, BeBe

Love, love the name! I was secretly hoping that's what you would go with all along! Looks like you had a great shower, complete with wonderful gifts and friends. Glad you have such a great support group in TX. Can't believe how close it's getting to the due date.

So glad the gals there are showering you with love and support in our place. You know we'd be doing the same out in CO! xo
