Showered with Love

This past weekend we hosted a co-ed baby shower for good friends of ours who are expecting their first child, who is affectionately dubbed "Sprout" until the true identity is revealed. We've enjoyed welcoming them to the world of parenthood, and if our friendship is any indication, Stacy and Geordie will surely be fun-loving, thoughtful, caring parents. We look forward to meeting you Sprout!


Everyone brought a favorite children's book to the party, and there were lots of favorites to be had. I managed to find two of my favorites used, On the Day you were Born and Oh, the Places you'll Go, plus a few board books.



Everyone had their share of ooohs and awwws.


Although she couldn't make it to the festivities, Stacy and Geordie's good friend Elizabeth made this amazing cake! It was deeeelicious...I seriously don't know if I've had much better. Thanks as well to my pre-party helper, Karen, and clean-up crew of Geordie's sis and Mom! It takes a village... :-)
