Overdue...

No, not me- just this update! Things have been busy around the Kelso house lately (and I know they will only get crazier!). We have had so much going on lately that I have wanted to blog about, but I have had a hard time finding the time (and energy) to take the pictures off my camera and actually post them! It has been a busy month full of fun times with friends and family.

Mat's parents drove over early in August to deliver our nursery bedding and glider. It all looks beautiful, and it is so special that Sue spent so much time and energy making things just right for the nursery. We have enjoyed working on putting the room together, and I promise to post pictures soon- as soon as we get everything finished!

At the end of August, Mat's parents rented a house in the San Antonio area for us to enjoy for the weekend and to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary! We had a great time relaxing with the family. The house was beautiful and had a great pool that everyone enjoyed. Mat and I enjoyed getting to spend some time with our nieces, Kadence and Cameron, since we don't see them very often. Kadence especially enjoyed watching George swim, and apparently she's still talking about "dog water".

The very next weekend, my friends had a wonderful baby shower for us and Baby Kelso. Megan and Kennedy had their house decorated beautifully, and we had some delicious food to enjoy that afternoon. Kennedy (Megan's 4 year old daughter) was a perfect little hostess. She answered the door and directed people on where to put their purses and the presents. My mom, Blair, our family friend Kendra, Mat's mom and Mindy were able to come spend the day with us, and I even had a few aunts that were able to make the trip to join us for the afternoon.

Showers are such a blessing, but they're difficult for me because I hate to be the center of attention! Kennedy helped me out there because she spent the entire afternoon helping me open presents, explaining to me what to do with them, and showing them off to the room. Thanks for all of your help Kennedy! :)

Mat and I feel so blessed to have so many people surrounding us that love us and already love our son. We have enjoyed unpacking all of our presents and putting them away in the nursery! These pictures are a combination of mine and Megan's. Thanks for letting me steal some of your pictures Megan!

This past week, my team at school threw another shower for Baby Kelso. They had everything decorated beautifully with a great theme (rubber duckies) that Deb was working on at 8 the night before! :) I work with some very creative people- Baby Kelso even has his own handmade Forest Creek shirt. I feel blessed to work with such a wonderful team!

We have just a few more weeks before Baby Kelso makes his debut! We are getting very excited and can't wait to meet him.
