Baby Fever!!


Yesterday B & I traveled to Mufreesboro, TN for Matt & Mindy's Baby Shower!
Vella Rossi is to come into the world on 3/15/10!!!

The place that the Hostesses had it, was adorable! It was a reception place off of a Bed & Breakfast! Neat & Old & Beautiful!!!

Matt is Brian's college roommate & friend! I was just lucky enough to meet both of them through Brian and become friends with them also! ;)
Mindy is a blast! She is always laughing and telling hilarious stories! She is the most relaxed pregnant woman I have seen in a while! She had no complaints and is just really enjoying the pregnancy! (I want to be like her!) Her Mom said the same thing about her! She made me feel good about possibly being a new parent one day!!! She was like "surely after 6months I will get the hang of it right?? I mean, she is coming, there is no turning back now! There is a lot of prayer involved!!" ha!!! :)

Mindy - you WILL BE GREAT! and so will Matt {Vella will have him wrapped pretty tight around that pinky! - that is what Dads are for right? :)}

We had such a fun time reminiscing on college days, how Matt & Mindy met and just plain ole talking about life in general! Thank ya'll for letting us spend time with ya'll!!!

I was shy on my picture taking! I totally didn't want to bring out the big camera and scare every one! but I should have known better, their friends were a HOOT and so much fun to be around (we enjoyed meeting them and also getting to see Mindy's parents again!)! I could have done what I needed and gotten all the pictures I wanted and they wouldn't have cared!!

Here are just a few.....

Congrats Matt & Mindy!!! Ya'll are going to be great parents!!!! We are so excited for you!!!
We love you!!!



Oh Lordy - We played a game, it wasn't bad, but you had to make a baby out of your PlayDough! This was the winner!!!

This was B & I's sad attempt at a team effort! :)

Happies!!

The adorable place!!!

Mindy laughing! She does that a lot and it is contagious!

Cute baby bump!!!



One of their friends gave Matt a present! It was so CUTE! A tool belt with tongs, goggles, air fresher and wipes for his diaper changing duties!! ;)



The Hostesses, on the Left: Carey & Kelly. Mindy. Good friend, Pam. Me. Mindy's Mom! A fun group; I am telling you!

Mindy's Mom & Dad!!! :)

DC!!!

B & I were able to make a quick trip to Washington DC! He had to work for 1 day and we got to play for 1 day & 1/2! It was beautiful! It snowed and we loved it! We got to ride the metro every where we went and we fell in love with it! We got to see LOTS of history and enjoyed every minute of it! I got to take TONS of pictures and had a blast doing it! It was the best short, spontaneous trip we have ever had!!

Enjoy the pics!!! (I tried to just pick out the best of the best! - it was hard when I took almost 600 hundred! eek!!!) :)

and p.s. It looks like B & I wore the SAME thing every day......we didn't UNDERNEATH our warm wear! ha!!!
