I Love Our Neighbors

So, last night was supposed to be a "neighborhood BBQ." Some neighbors down the street (all our kids are in kindergarten together) organized it and we were all supposed to bring our own meat to grill, bring a side dish, etc...typical BBQ stuff, right? NO...it was a surprise baby shower for Miranda!! Deep down I have always desired some kind of surprise party in my life, but have never one...well, last night I was totally surprised! I can't believe that the secret didn't get out!! We had a lot of fun--we all get a long great--and we got a few more cute things for Miranda!

Miranda was the center of attention with all the little girls in the neighborhood. She was very content for the night...lots of attention. She stayed up until 8pm, I fed her, then she slept all night until 7am!! Yay!

Michele - I think that it's fantastic your neighborhood threw you a surprise shower. More than anything, it speaks so much of the intentional relationships you,Matt and the boys have built with your neighbors. I was really encouraged reading this blog post - I think more than anything because God is so intentional about the neighborhoods He places us in, and you all are obviously being salt and light exactly where you are.
