Baby Shower

Yesterday was our baby shower. It was really great. I can't say thank you enough to everyone who did so much. It was really awesome. We had high tea at the Westgate Hotel, very fancy. Everyone gets their own pot of fancy tea and then so many courses of tiny sandwiches, scones (with yummy cream), little cakes, berries (and more yummy cream), chocolate covered strawberries. This seems like a perfect way to eat for a pregnant person. It was so great to celebrate with our new (and not that new!) friends here in SD and to also feel the presence of people who were far away (emails, photos, cards and gifts) from Toronto, Florida, and Puerto Rico. Thank you so much to everyone for making it such a special celebration. I know the little Mellen will feel like his arrival was greatly anticipated and he will definitely enjoy the beautiful, thoughtful gifts.
Thank you.
