I am so fortunate to have so many generous and caring people in my life. Carl and I both are. And the baby showers that were thrown for us (and Audrey!) prove just how thoughtful and generous our families and friends are. My mother-in-law, Carl's Aunt Janet, and Joyce's good friend Kathy Moran threw us a shower in Tinley Park on September 18, 2011, for family and friends up in the Chicagoland area. It was at the cutest restaurant called Isabella Cafe in downtown Tinley. They had the best Italian food - so delicious! This is the invitation and the menu:
Here is a picture of me (at 35-weeks) and the hosts: Aunt Janet, me, Joyce, and Kathy
Just check out all the little details. So much work went into this shower. They are a creative bunch!
Kathy Moran made this diaper cake. Check it out. Illini cap (that we are taking to the hospital with us for some of Audrey's first pics), a softball glove, softball bat going through the middle, socks, onesies, headbands, toys, even a cupcake ornament:
There were about 30 people total who attended, which is quite a turnout! Carl and I both are so thankful and appreciative of all the gifts we received. We really did get everything we needed from our registry plus some other really cute things.
Look at all these gifts!
I have many more pictures, but I'll leave you with just one more... Carl and me, the parents-to-be:
It was a Sunday in the Fall, the Bears played the New Orleans Saints hence Carl's jersey. Unfortunately, the Bears lost.
