Shower Pics!

Thought you might like to see a few of these from the shower my mother in law, Donna, threw for me at my house.
Missing you lots.

Contest #2

Great job on contest #1!

In this next game, we're going to provide Jen with a list of things she might need for Baby Brady, but with a twist. The item you suggest must BEGIN with the LAST letter of the item suggested before you! For example, if I start by saying Jen will need to have bottleS, the next person might say she needs a Swing. The next person would need to suggest an item beginning with the letter G. Make sense?

Feel free to check back and play as many times as you want - at the end of the week a winner will be chosen at random. The more times you play, the more chances you have to win!

Contest #1 Winner

Congratulations to Jaci Hoover for winning our first contest! 

Jaci's advice was, "Don't forget to reward yourself when you make it through challenging times (sleepless nights, etc) a happy mommy leads to a happy baby :)" 

Jaci, send me your address when you have a minute, and I'll get your prize in the mail! 

Contest #1

Advice for the new Parents 

All new parents need good advice. For this contest, give your favorite gems (words of wisdom) in 10 words or less. You may enter as many gems as you wish, receiving one contest entry per gem. The winner will be drawn from a hat and announced on August 24th. At the end of the contest, all gems will be copied into a book being created for the new parents. 

Remember, you can't win if you do not play!

Jen Hoover Brady

  

It’s hard to live so far away

When a baby boy is on his way!

Family and friends spread far and wide,

Would love to be there by her side.

But since we can’t be there, I say

Let’s do our best to make Jeni’s day.

On the web we’ll go for games,

To share and chat will be our aim.

We’ll send our gifts and cards by mail,

She’ll feel our love without fail!

Sunday, August 17^th- Friday, September 12^th
