"The fundamental mission of motherhood now is the same as it always was: to nurture, protect, and instruct children, to create a home environment that enables them to learn and grow, to help them develop a heart for God and his purposes, and to send them out into the world prepared to live both fully and meaningfully."

-Sally Clarkson from the Mission of Motherhood

J&J couples shower

Last weekend Josh and Julia had a couples baby shower given by Julia's old highschool buds (who also mostly happen to be BU grads). It was super cute with a Baylor Bears theme, and I'm sure it will prove to be very appropriate for Mr. Brooks come college time! ;)
Here are the cute parents-to-be opening some gifts. What joy they have ahead!

So sorry that Blogger won't let me make these horizontal, but you can see how cute they were!

J&J with Martin and Libby Starr

The sweet little bear arrangement as you walked in the door. We all signed the "Old Bear" book.

The two preggos in the third trimester. Ah! Just do not love taking these---but, baby boy must see what he's put his mother through. hehe
