This is your "bloggity baby shower", which is being thrown for you by "The Internet".
It all began when some of your blog followers got together and decided to create something that would bless you and your sweet baby, Cade, because you have blessed so many people. A secret blog was created, invitations were sent out, and the result was what you see now: a collaboration of efforts by people who have never met in real life but who were drawn together by their love for you!
The video below tells the story of how it came about, and introduces you to the friends behind this shower. We are opening this blog up to the public tonight, so in addition to the ladies featured in the video, be sure check out the comments here to see what other guests drop by.
For those of you dropping by to visit tonight, Welcome and Thank You for being part of our Showers of Blessing for Leslie and Cade. Please leave a comment as a way of signing our guest book (think of it as a giant greeting card for Cade and his Momma). While Leslie is opening her gifts, feel free to play our shower games (links below) and chat with us on the sidebar.
So, without further ado, let's get this shower started. To throw a proper baby shower you must have:
Doorprize Drawing (leave a comment below and one name will be drawn at random)
Comraderie, Giggles, and an overall Terrific Time Together
there is a cbox (chat box) on the side bar. If you prefer to see it full-page, use this link.
While you're here, be sure to check out these very cool things:

What a ball!!!!!!!
Such A BALL!!!!!!!
Wow. Best shower that I have ever not(lol)been to.
Well, I'm sneaking in, in the wee hours...
Dear Leslie, the gals snuck my name in on the slide show, but I can't begin to keep up with the crafty, gifty energy these amazing girls have. I have merely lurked, prayed and popped in a time or two. you could say more than two if you count the times i came to this blog with a link that took me to the same post for a few days, and there i was thinking no new posts for a while. (i need to re-think the cutting back on coffee)but back to the lurking thing...
i'm sure i found your blog from hopping from Chelle's, my dear blog friend. i remember before rylan was on the way and your longing for a child. i knew that longing and prayed for your child to come along. and then your two pregnancies, lurking, praying, enjoying your blog. the internet is a strange but sweet connecting force eh?
i'm looking forward to hearing of cade's arrival. you dear one, have run the race well. His grace and mercy will carry you over the finish line. the Lord bless you with peace and strength.
*a bit of aunt tea trivia...
i am an aunt to 8 year old twin boys: cade and nicholas!
you can just imagine, my eyes popped out a bit when i read of your name choice.
Leslie, It was so much fun talking to you and all the girls last night! It was simply AMAZING. Im not sure how else to put it! Hope you had the best time, loved your gifts and know how special you are to all of us!!!
all my love
jacy

What a great idea! You all did a great job planning, and for such a deserving lady. How on earth did you come up with such an idea?
I just logged on via Wendi's blog.
What a wonderful idea!
Leslie, I will be praying that all things go well with the rest of your pregnancy and the birth of your little boy.
What a sweet and precious family you have.
What wonderful bloggy friends you have.
Blessings to you all,
Cindy
