Wilmington Shower

Wilmington Shower! August 18, 2009


Despite the long day of traveling by plane and then four hours in a car driving to Wilmington, I had the pleasure of being honored at another wonderful baby shower. This time, it was given by my Wilmington friends. Amy, Tracey, Megan, and Hillary all got together and hosted a lovely day. We had yummy treats, including a delicious cake (complete with green baby booties) and fantastic punch. We played a great game where you had to write down the name of the baby animal that went with each adult. Who knew that a baby fox was called a "kit"? It was quite educational...I definitely didn't win! There were over 30 people who attended and it was so special. Many of them were families and students from my former school as well as former colleagues. Others were friends from church that I hadn't seen in a while. I was overwhelmed with joy and love by the number of people who showed up to help me celebrate. It was a true outpouring of love and I can't thank everyone enough. I was especially honored by the attendance of Josh's first cousin Lindy, who drove all the way from Rhode Island to be at the shower! I know her sisters would have come if they could have but just to have someone from that side of the family there was so special! I will post pictures from the shower as soon as someone emails some to me. I didn't take a single picture (it's kinda hard when you forget your camera) so I'm relying on my friends and family to send them.
