Baby Shower

March 10, two of my dear friends Katie and Diane through me an amazing and most wonderful baby shower. It was held at my parent-in-laws' house where all our friends and family (women that is) came and celebrated with me. Except that the only down side was that my mom and grandmother were not there, they were in California... but we had them on the phone the whole time that I opened presents.... so they heard all the oooh-ing and ahhh-ing. Isabelle is one lucky little girl baby, she got so many great things, including a scrapbook that all the guests made a page for, and is now ready to plop in photos.

Here are a few photos from the shower.

This beautiful baby carriage cake was home made by Aunt Betsy ... Chocolate carriage and Lemon filled base.



Our niece Sophia was was looking for the cake... how cute is she, growing up and tall so fast.










Since my family couldn't be up here at the time of the shower, we were on the phone with them, listening to all that went on at the shower. This photo is of me giving a 'hug' to them... hugging the phone. Silly... yes, but very funny.



This blanket was hand made by Eric's Great Aunt Eleanor.










Ok, so here was a shock when I opened this box... It is a little night gown... that used to be mine... My grandmother had saved it for all these years and gave it to baby Isabelle.



My friend Katie, who came up with the plans for a fabulous baby shower.

Thank you!!

It has been a while, yes I know, however, I have many excuses... busy at work, busy tutoring and busy coaching gymnastics.... oh yeah, and being pregnant literally reduces the the womans' brain by 1/3 its working size... brain cells are taken by the baby... yes, that is the science teacher coming in here. :) On top of that we have a new camera, which is so amazing and wonderful... a canon 5D, so I am learning how to work that. :) It is GREAT. I have taken so many photos, but a problem arose.... how do I get them off the camera?? I have now figured that out (yeah), so now I am going to back track and update the last few months. To catch up with photos, you will have to go back to Eric's 30th...

Now here are the big points in the last few months. ....


Unfortunately, an old friend of Eric's was unable to come to his 30th surprise party, but for a surprise on its own, his friend Eric (nickname E-Rock) came up in February. It was nice for old friends to get back in touch, especially after 10 years. E-Rock's little brother, Justin, also came and hung out with them.
