Isn't she stunning??
I should also mention the talented photographer, Amy Slick!
Ashley is a close friend who is expecting twin girls (Ella and Sadie are SO excited). Ella, Sadie and I were so excited to have been invited to celebrate! So we woke up Saturday morning (yesterday), the girls ate, we picked out some cute clothes, gave the girls a bath, packed the diaper bag, and headed to the car. That may sound simple... but that was easily 2 hours of prep time.
On our way out to the shower, my GPS said I would be arriving 3 minutes late. I fought the Starbucks urge and drove straight to the shower. Unfortunately, my GPS led me to a random neighborhood. I finally got online and looked up the address and realized I was about 7 miles east of where I needed to be. So... we headed West.
When I got to what I believed to be the correct address, I parked my car and as I was about to get out I realized that there were really not very many cars. I didn't see Ashley's car or any of our other friends' cars. Eventually the homeowner came to the front door and looked out - it did not appear that there was a baby shower at this house... so I called Ryan and asked him to look it up again.
By now I am 30 minutes late, had been in the car for about an hour, the girls were starting to get restless, and I was very frustrated. Ryan says that according to what he looked up, I am in the correct location. I use some naughty language and leave - I know there is nothing going on at that house... While stopped at a red light (seems like an insignificant detail - but I feel the need to clarify that I wasn't studying invitations while driving with two babies in the car) I checked the invitation for the 100th time to make sure I really did have the correct address. I did. Then I looked and saw where it said "Sunday, September 22nd". Problem: yesterday was Saturday, September 21st. #AnotherFail.
I called Ryan to explain. Then felt the need to call Sarah (the poor hostess whose house I was creeping) and Ashley. Mortifying. The good news? I now know where Sarah lives (so I won't be late TODAY) and the girls looked REALLY cute!
