Baby Shower in Beavercreek!



Julia, Rachel, and Stephen threw Jason and me a baby shower in Dayton this May. It was really relaxing and fun. We got to see friends who made the trek from Toledo (Julia, Bonnie and Brent, and Eric, Erin, and Cole), as well be surprised by Ginger and Tim making it from Bloomington, IN. We also got to see our local friends the Rickards, the Cousers, and John, Pam, and Anna, not to mention the hosts Rachel, Stephen, and Andrew.

After eating the delicious "grill-out" food, it was game time. Julia melted various chocolates into diapers and we had to identify what candies they were. If that's what a dirty diaper looks like, that's gross! Then Stephen created a fun "Name that Song" game. There were songs from all ages and each had the word baby in it. We had to identify the singer and/or song title. Rachel also had diapers at each table and people wrote notes on them, which we will enjoy reading when changing Baby Hall's diapers in a few months. The day went way too fast and is such a special memory to us!

Mom and Gramma Cordell Visit!



Mom Cordell and Gramma Cordell visited us for a long weekend this May. It was good to see them. We relaxed and talked, watched a movie, went to Red Lobster, went garage sale-ing, and took a lovely walk along the Canal in downtown Indy. While Jason went out to eat with some of the guys at church, we ladies attended a baby shower for me at the church. It was fun and was really special that Julie (from church) organized it and so many people came. With lots of our family being far away, it meant a lot too, that Gramma and Mom Cordell could be there for it too!
