Surprise! Yes, Nadya(the BOM staff) got married and became pregnant. It was hard to keep this secret :) A little baby boy should come to the world in a month.
Nature is beautiful in the woods! People try to save trees building houses.
And they did these cute houses for birds.
And so we all came and prepared special place for our mommy arrival.
Our centerpiece, Diaper motorcycle :)
Everyone was busy doing their work.
I told my friends blindfolded Nadya from home and without saying anything to bring to this place. Ha ha! Yes, they told her where to go and where to come around. It was so fun to watch and it was hard not to laugh!
She absolutely had no idea what awaits her!!! :))) All were silent, even the children were silent. I think they were wondering what is going.
"Surprise!!!" All cried out when she took off the blindfold. Nadya was amazed and of course was pleasantly surprised! "Where I am? Where I am? Wow! How beautiful!" lol. Everybody applauded and was happy for her :) It happened! Surprise succeeded! Ha ha!
We had a meal before having fun. As everyone was hungry already. It was sweet time of fellowship.
It was hilarious!
Next game. Wins the one, who has the greatest number of diapers hang on the rope for a minute!
Moms sometimes have to do some work and look after the baby at once. Would the daddies cope, holding the child and do multiple jobs at one time? Who will to hang the biggest amount of clothing per minute, winner!
Kiddies also took part in the games!
They were so excited, curious and thrilled!
Players must use a chopstick held in their mouth (no hands) to pick up binkies from a table. We took wooden skewers for burgers. First player to pick up a certain number of binkies or player that picks up the most in the allotted time wins. This is not easy! But it was hilarious!
Olga won!
So amusing when brothers played!!!
More practice and bro. Misha learned how to do it!
Who the first drink the liquid from the bottle with no hands, wins!
Everyone left the wishes for baby boy. So sweet memory.
Time to open gifts.
We had such a great and amazing time! Awesome!!!! It was so beautiful, so fun and lovely time with the church and our friends! Nadya was thrilled and so happy! Everyone was pleased and remember funny and amusing moments. :) We plan come back to this gorgeous place sometimes.
Nadya became pregnant, and the doctor said that thanks to pregnancy learned that her spinal hernia increased. Also he said that in 2 years it would happened anyway and Nadya would become disabled person... :( How terrible for the young lady! But Nadya learned earlier about her trouble, thank God. It eventually start to cause terrible pain and Nadia stopped to walk. She simply was not able. Later, doctors admitted that they were going to draft documents of her disability because they believed that the legs will be refuse and she would not walk... But Nadya is spirit strong woman! She did not despair and start searching herself how start to walk. Thanks to the efforts she found a doctor, who could help in her treatment and do without surgery. And a month later due to special exercises, she began to walk! Today she feels great and the baby is healthy and growing well! Doctors can not believe their eyes and say it was a miracle. Yes, it's a real miracle that the Lord has made! We all and Nadya`s family heartly thank you for your fervent prayers! Thank you VERY MUCH sweet Friends!!!! Thanks to the support of your prayers the miracle happened!
I LOVE very much to do surprises! :) To make someone to say "Wow"! :))) But who don't like?! Ha!
So, we wanted celebrate this miracle, this special event, make a surprise, Baby Shower for her and it was a sweet possibility to have fellowship with the church and friends.
I wanted to make something special as she is my dear friend for 20 years already. Wow! And we never fighted and yell till today. Ha ha! Yes, we had misunderstandings as all people have. But we understand each other perfectly. I`m very blessed to have her as my dear and precious friend!!!! ♥
We were super excited to find this such a beautiful and wonderful place! I thought, "Hmm, it will be a perfect place for Baby Shower."
And they did these cute houses for birds.
And so we all came and prepared special place for our mommy arrival.
Our centerpiece, Diaper motorcycle :)
Then everyone was expecting the arrival of our mommy. And everyone was excited and waited to see the reaction of Nadya. :)
I told my friends blindfolded Nadya from home and without saying anything to bring to this place. Ha ha! Yes, they told her where to go and where to come around. It was so fun to watch and it was hard not to laugh!

All together
We had a meal before having fun. As everyone was hungry already. It was sweet time of fellowship.
Then we had a lot of funny games.We had a great time!
The idea of the game is "Mommy needs an extra set of hands" so daddy is helping mommy change the baby. Daddy is blindfolded and mommy can't use her hands to help only say what to do.
It was hilarious!
Next game. Wins the one, who has the greatest number of diapers hang on the rope for a minute!
One of the funniest baby shower games is for the women break into teams (up to five persons per team). Each team has a doll, blindfold and diapers. The object is for each participant to place the blindfold on, take the current diaper off the doll and place the new one on while blindfolded. After the first person finishes diapering, they run to the next team-mate who places the blindfold on and has to do the same. The first team to finish diapering wins!
Moms sometimes have to do some work and look after the baby at once. Would the daddies cope, holding the child and do multiple jobs at one time? Who will to hang the biggest amount of clothing per minute, winner!
Kiddies also took part in the games!
They were so excited, curious and thrilled!
I love queue in the game because everyone wants to take part.

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.
(Psalm 133)
What a wonderful time everyone had, and what a beautiful place! So many good memories were made at that baby shower, too.
ReplyDeleteBig news here: my church, Faith Fellowship of Lexington, has a new and permanent home! We are now Liberty Road Faith Fellowship, and we have a beautiful church building and a separate gymnasium (across town from our friends at the Seventh Day Adventist Church who so kindly shared their space with us for seven years) and lots of new members. We have just moved, but plan to offer many new activities soon and reach out to people who live nearby. It's an exciting time!
I will try to email you soon - lots of other news better sent that way.
Congratulations to Nadya on her expected little son! I hope all goes well with her and the baby.
