Baby Shower

On Saturday, 1/27/07, Theresa and Pastor Andrea hosted a baby shower for me. Everything was lovely from the food to the games and gifts, but especially the friends. I felt really special that so many friends were there--from Long Island/Brooklyn/Manhattan/Queens, especially on a cold, overcast winter day.

Big Apple Baby was the theme and all of the dishes were based around that fruit from apple turkey burgers with apple salsa to apple pecan coffee cake. Everything tasted delicious!

I had so much fun to the point of exhaustion and fell asleep immediately when I returned home. Later that evening I began playing "house" with all of the baby gifts. It was so much fun arranging the baskets, rubbing the soft baby clothes on my cheeks, and showing Philip all of the gifts one-by-one. Slowly but surely he's getting used to all of this baby stuff. I definitely think the desserts and coffee that the ladies sent home for him helped take the edge off the baby invasion.
