Sadly, I'm updating the blog just a "few" weeks late! I'm having a really hard time remembering all the details that took place this week. Thankfully, I do have pictures to help me remember. This week started out with Amy’s baby shower on Sunday (6/3) that was held at my house. The shower was hosted by Jennifer Bergherm, Heather Cochron, Lisa Deininger, Loretta Hauck and myself; I provided the location and the rest took care of the theme, the food, the cake, the drinks, the decorations, the invitations, and the guest list. Even though I had to do some massive cleaning to prepare for the shower, I am pretty sure that I got the easiest job! Everything was so pretty and put together so well. I loved all the pink & green & other girly touches! Personally, I think that the shower was a success; we had a great turn-out and Amy got a lot of super cute baby girl clothes (and some other stuff!). Most of our friends have little boys, so we all are going a little crazy with pink, purple, ruffles & bows. :)

In the life of Erik this week, he has begun to clap along to the songs "If You’re Happy & You Know it" and "The Wheels on the Bus". We have found that Erik loves music and we can almost always get Erik to stop crying if we sing to him. It could be that he is shocked into quietness due to the extraordinary vocal talent that Kent & I have (ha, ha); most likely, he is just pleased to be distracted from whatever is making him cry. He will stop crying, listen for a bit and then start clapping. I'm so happy that he is easily pleased.
The week ended with Erik being in his first "fight" - and at church, no less, too! The real story is that Erik and Zachary were "talking" to each other after church with Erik on Kent's lap and Zachary leaning in really close to Erik's face. Kent warned Zachary to not get too close since Erik likes to give kisses with a little extra bite to them. Zachary didn't listen and so Erik leaned forward, I'm sure just to give Zachary a friendly kiss on the nose, but ended up adding his teeth to it and gave Zachary a bite. It had to have been at just the right spot on Zachary's nose, because while there was no broken skin, it gave Zachary a nose bleed!!! Oh my, there we are in the church sanctuary and Erik made Zachary bleed. Thankfully, Karis was right on it and staunched the bleeding. Erik & Zachary are still friends :) I happened to have my camera with me that day to take pictures of the matching shirts for Kaleb & Erik that Amy & I had bought earlier in the week.
