Phew! What a day!
First, we met our friend Angie and her mom Marla at Von Maur's to try on flower girl dresses for Carter. Angie knew what she wanted, and Carter looked beautiful in it! Good choices, ladies!
Our beautiful little flower girl, excited to dress up and participate in Angie's wedding!
We ran to Babies 'R Us to check out baby bedding, and picked up our first BOY purchase - it's a whole 'nother blue-colored world! We grabbed lunch, rested for a bit, then we were off again.
Awww! Itty bitty blue boy stuff! Loving it!!!
This time, back to an Angie event: her bridal shower. Since I couldn't find a sitter (Andy was at the Principal Charity Classic and everyone else was busy), Carter came with me. It was like it was all about her day! Angie, a Carter-fanatic, let her help with gifts and kindly shared her spotlight (only to egg on Carter!). She had a great time, and we loved the shower.
After the shower, we attempted a graduation party for a former 8th grader who's graduating this year (holy cow! I've been doing this long enough to have graduating kids?!), but I can't read a calendar and had my dates screwed up. But, ultimately, it worked out, because Carter and I had time to hang out at the pool for the afternoon.
And we both slept very well!

And....even though she looks TOTALLY cute...her face is saying something like I would say! Like, "OK, I'm gonna smile and then let's get it off!" (Although she probably loved it.)
