Bigger in Texas


Ever heard the saying "Everything is bigger in Texas"? Well I'm here to tell you it's true.

Caleb and I are so lucky to have two amazing sisters who went all out to throw us one Texas sized shower.

They started out with the cutest invitation, which I have come to learn has a very special meaning to the Hartwell family.

Hearts with a whale. Heart-whale. Now say it fast...Hartwell.
Don't worry, it took me 3 times to get it.

Like all good hostesses, they included the nursery color scheme (aqua and orange) in their decorations.




Check out the aqua Peeps!
This balloon has been waiting 5 years to make an appearance. 

Even their outfits! Now that's dedication!

Gabrey, Rebekah & Leah

They invited our friends and family from near and far.....

They sure do know how to make a pregnant girl happy...






Our friends and family were so generous and thoughtful in their gifts.

 I was stopped by two different moms in the airport on the way home telling me how great this swing was. Can't wait to try it!

Pee Pee Teepees.  From what I hear these will come in handy.

Another whale sighting! See...you're getting the hang of it!

A cute jacket with fur collar! Perfect for Nashville winters.

His first Guess outfit. He's going to be one fashionable little dude!


Caleb and I had such a great time visiting with family and friends and by the end of the night, felt a little like this:


Thank you Leah and Rebekah for throwing us such a great shower!


P.S. You can see more photos from the shower here.

    Meg,
    Wow..It looks like you had a great shower party. The color co-ordination is very cool. Once again, it looks like Baby H scored bigtime..(not sure what the pee pee teepee is all about but I am sure it serves an invaluable purpose). I really enjoyed the pictures including the "little devil" one..girls will be girls. The nursery has to be close to overflowing by now..and perhaps one more shower left?!!! Perhaps it's time to price a "POD" for the driveway..hehe.. Love,
    Dad

  2. All I have to say is.......Baby H needs a bigger closet and probably even a bigger room! Love, Mom
