gifts from friends...

This past week has been pretty special with more and more folks finding out about our big news, and with that news really sinking in to our friends.  We've already gotten a few little gifts from some of our friends, which I thought was really sweet.

My last post talked about what the office did for me so the photo shows the vase of flowers and *surviving* balloon and the sweet card that everyone signed.  There's also a "Humpty Who?" book pictured -- that's from our friend, Amy, who stopped in one day this past week to visit for a minute.  The book has all kinds of nursery rhymes and even comes with a CD to listen to -- it looks really cute.

The cute little "baby's first Christmas" bib came from our friends, Henry & Allison -- their darling son, Tripp, will turn a year old right around the time that our little one is born so we expect them to be buddies growing up.  :)

The rest of the stuff pictured is from our friends, Matthew & Elizabeth, who came to visit over the weekend.  They have a sweet 8 month old, Emily, and Elizabeth swears by that book there, "The Baby Book".  She said it was the best one she read during her pregnancy and she still refers to it.  I absolutely LOVE the little UNCW onesie.  It's a 6 mo size which will be perfect because when our little one is 6 mos old, it will be spring, so he/she will get lots of wear out of that!  The little elephant was something Emily picked out for little Baby Wenzel.  Aw.

Our friends have really made us feel so very loved and so special, even more so than they've done in the past.  We wouldn't take them for anything!  God bless you all!
