I know this is long overdue, but better late than never, right? :) I'll be catching up on my blogging today, and I'm going to start with the wonderful baby shower that Suzanne and Hillary threw for me on November 16. It was a delicious Sunday brunch at Suz's house, which is perfect for entertaining, and was also the site of my bridal luncheon the day before my wedding. I love how many good times and important moments have been marked at her house!
Mom and I and the wonderful quilt that Mom made for Nugget--I love it!
The beautiful and delicious bird cookies that Hillary made--they matched the bird on my invitation!

I was thrilled and touched by how many of the important women in my life were able to be there, and how many of those who weren't sent their love from afar. It is always an amazing experience to be in a room that is full of people I love, from different corners of my life and family all coming together in support of an important moment in my life. I was really struck by what a loving community I live in, and that Todd and I are bringing our son into. I can't wait to introduce him to all of these wonderful people!
The gifts we received were so generous (and all ridiculously cute!). I think that Nugget is going to be the best dressed baby in town--certainly better outfitted than his parents! :) Hillary also coordinated a really cool craft project where all of the guests made cars out of felt which Hillary turned into a wall hanging for the nursery. It turned out really cute, and I can't wait to get it up on the wall.
Here are some pics from the day:
