Baby Wash

Now that we're rounding third and heading towards home base, I thought it would be good to post some of the pictures from the baby showers that we've had. Or, as our young friend (age 5) Ellery Schoen calls it, a "baby wash". We were fortunate enough to have SIX showers! The first was thrown by my family and unfortunately I don't have any photographic evidence, but it was fun! The second shower was thrown by my E&Y friends. It was a really great time - Megan made the most amazing cake with various layers of purple - just like the baby's room! My photos from this shower are hard copy, and I don't have access to a scanner so you'll just have to imagine how great the shower was!

The next shower was hosted by my Drake friends. It was a co-couples shower with our friends Julie and Brian who are due with their baby a week after us. It was so much fun to get to spend time with our Des Moines friends and they did the most amazing job, as always, throwing the party!

The Krusmark's threw me a shower and again the "purple" theme was on order. We had some amazing cupcakes, some fun games and great times with family! The shower was at our house so it was great to get to show off the baby's room to our family.

Chris' co-workers threw us a shower at our favorite restaurant, Cafe Lurcat. Yum! It was a great night with a lot of great people. Unfortunately, we don't have any photographic evidence of this one either but you'll just have to trust me!

Last, and certainly not least, our good friends Amanda Howard, Ginny Nelson, Amanda Kay, and Jennifer Funderburk threw me a great shower for the friends here in Minneapolis. These ladies also know their way around a great baby shower and this was no exception! There was great food, great friends, and a LOT of great gifts!

Now all we need is the baby! And she is spoiled already....
