Shower Weekend

Over the past weekend I had two great showers. On Saturday, my wonderful friends from Eastern Star and a book club gave me a brunch shower. We played games and I received a lot of great gifts - including two handmade afghans and our Frog Pod for the bath, along with lots of clothes, blankets, rattles, and other items. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera - so no pictures from the Saturday shower, but believe me it was GREAT!


On Sunday, my Mom and sisters hosted a shower for family and friends. Our faboulous families and friends were very generous and we received so many things, I almost couldn't fit it all in our new Volvo station wagon (Charlie traded the Mini Cooper). We received the mattresses, the double stroller, the pac-n-play, bouncers, exersaucer, lots of clothes, bath supplies, etc. We also received the traditional afghans from Grandma Allgeier (picture provided) and some handmade car seat cuddlewraps.

A family friend, Martha, made a four layer diaper cake that includes 248 diapers, along with lots of other goodies (picture provided).






All in all, Charlie, Lizzie, Paul, and I are very blessed in our family and friends. We could not have made it this far or be doing so well without the help provided by everyone we know. I'm going to try to get the Thank You cards out soon, but let me put a big THANK YOU here for anyone who helped us or gave us anything - We LOVE you!!!
