Showering Baby Droogsma

Last weekend my college roommates and I threw a baby shower for Natalie and Baby Droogsma.
Michelle, Natalie, Elisa, Sarah

We are due just 2 days apart so it has been fun being pregnant at the same time as Natalie. 

Natalie is decorating her nursery in yellow, blue and grey so we went with that theme. 

We had people write funny sayings on diapers for those late night diaper changes.

We played a little game between Natalie and her hubby during the shower. Elisa came up with about 15 questions about all things baby.  She recorded Amory answering these questions before the shower.  During the shower, we asked Natalie these same questions and she had to guess what Amory's answers were.
It was pretty funny.

Baby Sherman can't wait to meet Baby Droogsma! Who knows - they might be future Baylor roommates like their moms. 

Getting Closer

Just a few more weeks of baseball season.  Our Marcus Marauders are having a great season. Last Tuesday night Jeff's family from Cleburne all drove over to Flower Mound for the game. His dad has 2 brothers and they were both able to be there.  I love this photo of his granny and her 3 sons.

They won the game!
Later that week my parents came over for a few days.  My dad had a meeting to attend in Dallas so Mom of course tagged along. Mom helped me paint Brody's new room and the new nursery.  We transitioned Brody  out of his crib so we could get the new nursery set up. Friday night, after painting all day, Dad, Brody and I drove up to Denton for the baseball game. Harper and Mimi stayed home to finish decorating.

Fun conversations between Brody and Papa


He will always find the dirt pile to play in.

It was getting pretty late so Brody just chilled in his little chair.

In the 6th inning, Brody decided that he was ready to go so he packed up his chair and started towards the car.  Too bad the game went on for a little longer.

First "Real" Soccer Game

Saturday morning was our first "real" soccer game.  The week before was an inter squad scrimmage.  I think Harper had fun at the game.  The YMCA is right across the street from our house so that makes getting to the games easy. My mom & dad were in town so they came out to cheer her on.

Go #28!!

A Busy Saturday

After Harper's soccer game last Saturday morning, we headed home for naps and then to the baseball field to catch the end of the game.  It was nice to be at a game in the daylight.

Their favorite part of the game is running out on the field after to give daddy hugs

Soccer or Herd Ball?

We signed up Harper to play Soccer at the YMCA.  It's super close to our house so we thought that it would be an easy way for her to be involved with her first organized sport.  The team has two volunteer / parent coaches who both happen to be College Soccer coaches in the area.  (DBU & TWU).  They practice every Thursday evening and then are supposed to play games on Saturdays.  So far we have had 3 practices but no official games.  They keep getting canceled due to rain.  So last weekend her coach went ahead and organized a scrimmage between members of her team.  We called it a game and the kids didn't know any difference.  It was a great way for the coaches to be out on the field coaching the kids as to the rules of the game. I think Harper is enjoying it so far.

Harper is one of 2 girls on the team. She doesn't seem to mind hanging with all of the boys.



They just seem to move around in a little herd wherever the ball is.
