Baby Shower

May 6, 2008

So the big shower was Sunday.  There were a LOT of people there.  It was a bit overwhelming, but nice.  Jenny did a great job and running it smoothly, and more importantly, keeping it short and sweet.  I had lots of family there, so it was nice to be able to get home and visit with them, opening the presents, and just ‘being’.  Looks like we got a ton of 3-6 months clothes.  I’m gonna have to wade into the deep pile of gifts already opened, and determine just what we need and what may need to be returned because of duplicates or just too many.  There are still a few things we need before he gets here, so the gift cards, money, and returns will help with that.

This is teacher appreciation week, which I’m helping out with.  I’ve been a bit busy with it, like coming home from my shower and making 6 batches of chocolate chip banana muffins.  They were a HUGE hit with the teachers, who all want the recipe.  I have to do fruit and donuts on Thursday, and make a dessert for their luncheon of Friday.  Not to mention preparing for Mother’s Day, getting to those thank you cards, and tackling the pile of gifts.

There are a few more stories I’d like to share – like Buddy’s haircut, Sarah’s haircut (yikes), and the Camerican girl dolls aka Holly dollies, but for now, I’ll leave you with some pictures from the shower – thanks, Jen.
