Baby Shower


Thanks to my good friend Mary, I was showered with gifts the other night for baby James. I had showers for my wedding and for Annie, but for some reason this shower made me feel particularly grateful. Maybe it's because I don't have lots of nephews just older than James, so I know the hand-me-downs will be fewer and farther between, maybe it's because I'm away from family right now, maybe I'm just getting to be a more grateful person (here's hoping) . . . Who knows? Whatever the reason I really feel so lucky to have so many generous friends in my life! A big thanks to everyone who came!

Here are some pictures of the event. Ash, I'm even including a couple of me at 8 months pregnant (ugh!) just for you.

Kira, Dani and Hazel, Shanna

Meta, Melanie, Rebe

Shelly, Jenna

Lisa, Hayley

Lisa, Annah, Amberly

Mary (the hostess), Heather, Angie

Me, Celeste, Katie



And finally, because I can't resist, a couple of cute pictures of Annie in a new jacket that my friend Meimei sent to me. She's doing her frowny face in the first one. So cute!
