My wonderful mother-in-law MaryLynn and super-sweet sister-in-law Cassie, along with John's godmother/aunt Becky graciously threw us a baby shower. The day was just beautiful. Baby L is already one spoiled baby and it's not even here yet!
The shower was just lovely, the food was delicious, and it is always so nice to see family and friends all together. We were lucky enough to have John's grandma Elaine, Aunt Mimi, cousins Erin and Natalie Jo travel from Rogers City/Alpena (4 hours drive). Along with great friend Bobbi Jo and her mom Mary Jo who traveled from Traverse City and Alpena as well.
I cannot forget my own Mom and sister, with nephew JD and niece Lola who made the long 12 hour drive from PA as well. I was so glad they could be here for John and I and spend a wonderful long weekend together.
Of course, thank you to everyone else who made the journey, near or far, it was so nice to see everyone and spend some time together.
Both John and I are so very grateful to everyone who was able to attend and even more thankful for your generosity. Having a baby is terribly overwhelming (but so worth it), we certainly did not anticipate all of the needed clothes, baby accessories, and traveling gear. Everyone has definitely helped us to prepare so much, we are forever grateful! (And hope you will get a chance to visit once the baby is born)
I will have to steal some more pictures from my mother-in-law and Cassie. I certainly missed a lot of people!
