Baby Shower at The Edgars

Our good family friends, Chris, Georgia, Lynne, Susan and Suzanne threw us a lovely baby shower at The Edgar's house last weekend. The food was scrumptious, everyone wanted the recipe for the eggs. We received so many nice, nice gifts that we now know we need a larger house. The life-sized stuffed bear from Poppy got a ride home in Curtis' convertible. Thanks to all of our great friends and family for helping us celebrate our baby boy to come. Our friend Leslie had her baby boy, Henry Daniel Mariani 5 days after the shower and all are doing well.

Baby Shower at the Party Barn

Pictures are worth a thousand words..

Thank you very much Nancy, Barbara, Lois, Aunt Gail, Curtis and Jim for a beautiful shower with delicious food and much fun. Thanks to all of our great friends for enduring the hot weather and for the wonderful gifts.

We're Staying Active Too!

We have been busy this summer at parties practicing our parenting skills. All of our friends seem to think we already know what we're doing. Little do they know that we give their kids a taste of beer and brownies. That keeps them quiet and happy.



Every morning we go for a hike with Skye; and Sarah has been feeling great because of it. Last weekend we went to White Clay Creek State Park with Sarah, Leslie, Skye and Rosco. The dogs swam a lot and we enjoyed a beautiful long hike.

He's Active!

Our baby boy has been moving a lot recently. Sarah woke up at 5 am yesterday because she said it felt like the baby was on a trapeze. He was pushing from one end of her belly to the other then from the top to the bottom. You can now see it when he kicks or punches or butts Sarah's belly. It's so cool! He also gets the hiccups every morning. You can tell it's the hiccups because the movements are rhythmic.

We are almost finished decorating the baby's room...yippee! The painting is nearly done but thankfully Grandma Lois is going to help finish the windows when she comes this weekend. The white wainscoting is up and looks terrific. We picked up the crib, bookcase and swivel chair so we're looking forward to setting up the room. Here's a sneak peak.

This weekend is going to be so much fun! Sarah's mom is coming to town for the big baby shower at Nancy and Barbara's barn on Saturday night. We're expecting 60 people and they're calling for 90 degrees and high humidity. We want to thank our hosts Nancy, Barbara, Lois, Curtis and Jim for all of their hard work and know the party is going to be wonderful! We wish everybody could be here, we'll miss you Leigh, Frank, Sherry and Ben.
