Showers Hit Indy

The showers (baby showers, that is) have slowly moved down from Wisconsin and hit Indy on Saturday. Lindsay and Laura hosted a FABULOUS shower for me and Bubba with our Butler friends. My mom and oldest sister came down, too, which was a great treat and made the celebration even more special. Bubba got lots of good stuff, everything from bottles and blankets to toys and clothes. The best part, though, was all the books!! Every guest gave us a book (or books!) to start Bubba's library. We hope he'll take after his parents and love to read as much as we do. In the meantime, though, he'll have a nice little stash of books that David and I will read to him often. I think we have enough variety to read him a different book each night for at least three weeks! :)

Thank you to everyone who celebrated with me over the weekend, and to those who sent gifts in their absence. I was overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of our friends, family, family friends, the list goes on. I can't thank you enough.

And a BIG thanks to Lindsay and Laura (my "other" sisters) for throwing this party for us. You girls mean the world to me!! mwah!

Books, books, and more books.

Connie's book that she gave to Bubba was one of Dave's baby books. Made me cry when I opened it.

Cute monkey onesies from Aunt Jennifer.

And of course Nonna had to have something special from her.

Let's sail away to the Land of Nod on Bubba's new bedding.

A special gift from my third mom, Beverly. She handsewed a blanket for Bubba that matches his bedding. The perfect keepsake that we can cherish forever.
