Showered with Love

We have been so blessed with many people that love us. We've had three baby showers and one "virtual shower." Our friends here in Madison gave us a shower the day after we received Josie's pictures (it just happened to work out that way!) I don't have electronic pictures of that shower yet. Colleen's co-workers threw a big bash as well, complete with diaper "tiered-cake" and a handmade wall hanging with Josie's picture. Then Colleen's family gave a huge party along with her sister Aileen's college graduation party (see pictures last post). Last week we also received a large envelope in the mail with several cards from our friends in Hampton Roads, Virginia where we lived from 1995 - 2003. Many friends there have been wiating with us all the long years until we could finally have a child! They gave us a large gift card to Target with their warm wishes. We feel so grateful, and are blissfully happy with all this love! Josie will be very well taken care of by many friends and family!



Here is the wall hanging that my coworker Barb made. It will hang in Josie's room. It is supposed to be very good for young ones to see pictures of themselves. It helps develop a positive self identity.






What a time to party!
