Baby Showers

Kelli and I have been married for almost 5 years now. Besides some books, cat toys, and a dartboard, we have acquired nothing in the last 5 years that would be useful in raising or entertaining a child. Luckily, we have great family and friends looking out for us!

Southdale, the school Kelli teaches at, was kind enough to throw her a baby shower. A few teachers bought gifts for us on their own, like a bath tub in the shape of a whale that will fit in our sink, some clothes, and diapers . . . while many others went in together and splurged for a motorized swing!

This past weekend, Kelli's sister (Jodi) and sister-in-law (Megan), threw a shower for us. We were both floored by the generosity of our family and friends. Kelli and I can walk through Target and register for things we think we need, but it's not until you're in a room full of experienced mothers, showered with their gifts, that you know what you really need.

Our little home is filling up fast with baby stuff. Thank you thank you thank you!

(No we're not having Twins . . . our baby just has no choice in which baseball team they will root for.)

Beautiful, belated, baby blog! Although I'm guessing you'll blog about more then just the baby. And you're welcome for the gifts. I'm not a mom (well to anyone but Norman) but I know some great ones so I took their advice as to what you might need the most.

Yes, it'll be about more than baby, but I'm sure that baby will make it into plenty of posts . . .

Nice updates...not so sure about the cat, though.

Take care and get some rest. The boys will be calling before you know it.
