I had a wonderful time. Scott is going to scan the invite that Stef made for it today. It is so creative- wait until you see it.

Claud was taking photos for me so here are the first of many photos that I will be posting from the shower.

There was a tea-pot type theme since I really love tea pots. It was at Polini's in Haupppauge (Rt.347). Food and Service was very good. Many of my guests were super creative/crafty. Of course, Claud was ultra-creative and people kept asking her how she finds time to do this stuff with a little one I got a lot of beautiful gifts and basically just need to shop for a few things now.

Here is my cake. As many of you know I hated the way my wedding cake came out so my stepmom knew that shower cake was very important.

My sister made everyone choclate tea cups with pink and blue M&Ms in them as favors.

Here is one of the many gifts that Claud got me..it is my baby nursing supply basket

Here I am opening up one of my gifts:

Of course, when my friend's little one showed up I was very happy..I hadn't seen her in a few days

Here is Scott in the Daddy Tool Belt that Claud made for him. It had gloves, Shout wipes, goggles, a diaper and all the 'fun' stuff Daddy's need in the middle of the night.

I will get more photos from my stepmom's camera to post soon.
Most Tearful Moment of my Day: all of my guests had a polaroid taken and wrote a little message to me on the photo. My Nanny's sister, my great aunt Amelia wrote 'God Bless love great gramdma and me' She misses her sister as much as I miss my grandma and she knows that. She sorta feels that she can still 'speak' for her, if that makes any sense. They were VERY close. And since, during these days, my heart is not really whole she tries to bring her into the memory.

Most surprise gift: My friend's (who just got back from China with Caroline) SIL and MIL knitted me a stunning blanket. They wanted to do something nice for me since I throw Diane her baby shower. How sweet was that?

I tried to start unpacking some of the stuff yesterday but since our furniture is not here yet it is hard. Scott will be working on the closet organizer stuff today and during the week so I have some places to put stuff.

So I am ready for baby......shouldn't that mean baby is ready to join us?......

Michele, when did you decide to have a mural painted? Who are you using?

Re: Myshower was Saturday

I booked a women about a month ago. Barbara's friend Donna (I think you have met her before) had a women that her sister used. I met with the women and really loved her work. She has done a few western type rooms before as well as tea-party rooms, although not the exact same as I want. We spoke for a while and she understands exactly what I am looking for. Scott will call her the week I come home and tell her cowboys or garden tea-party and she will come on 12/15 to paint
