Lindsey's Central School Shower

On Tuesday, March 15, we threw John & Lindsey a school-wide shower for baby Sadie. She got LOTS of goodies and a baby bottle bank full of money.



Lindsey is almost 34 weeks in this picture! Sadie's starting to stick out there.


It's really setting in that soon Lindsey won't be at school anymore. My buddy, my sidekick, the one who listens to me gripe when I've had a bad day, my partner in crime....I could go on and on. Its going to be strange the rest of this year and next year going to school and not having her in the next room. I am so happy for her and the fact that she is able to stay home with her babies! :-) Yes, I said babies....I predict another Gorin baby probably pretty soon! haha She may kill me for saying that. Lindsey, if you're reading this, thanks for being such an awesome friend. And because I won't see you at school, well...that just means I'll have to come at least once a week to see you and Sadie!


Our 3rd grade team minus Heady AGAIN...Brooks was still cooking!

Fiesta for Sadie

So...what teacher at Central doesn't enjoy an excuse to get together and eat Mexican!?! I knew that the school would do a shower for Lindsey, but I wanted to do something else special for her and Sadie apart from school. So we had a "shower" at Rosie's on Thursday night, March 10th. The theme of the gifts was anything off her registry and instead of a card everyone brought a book. Inside the book, everyone wrote a little note to Sadie. Sadie will know from these books how much she was prayed for and loved before she was even born!
The little insert in the invitation said this:

Although cards are nice with their sentiment and prayer, they’re read once or twice and tucked away with care. A book is a treasure, words and pictures unite, read over and over to teach and delight. So instead of a card for baby and mother, please give a child’s book with your thoughts in the cover. Your book will be cherished: God will watch from above, when it’s read they will remember your kindness and love.

I LOVE this idea, but I cannot take credit for it. I copied it from another girl from my church. I love the idea of giving books. I mean, after all, we are teachers. Our kids definitely need lots of books to read!

I can't believe my best friend is this close to having a baby--although, it seems like she's been pregnant for FOREVER. We joke about it being so long because I found out at the time of conception(no, really that soon!) HAHA





Third grade teachers! Minus Heady who was at home, resting and holding baby Brooks in!
