A long and Wonderful Day

We're home now, after having a lovely day.

It was the 'friends' baby shower today. We started by picking up our awesome friend Alexandra from the bus station, after she suffered the greyhound from NYC for 4 hours to be here with us today. We really appreciated that she came, and she's currently sitting with us on the couch (this in no way influences the things I'm saying about her, by the way).

We then went to the shower, hosted by another of our awesome friends, Stacy. Stacy has also been wonderful throughout this pregnancy, and hosted a great party.

We were joined by close friends and had a great time. I'm almost afraid to list people for fear of forgetting anyone; but thanks to Stacy, Ken, Kate, Jenny, Craig, Kathy, Ian, Hollie, Barbara, Ellie, Alexandra, Shawn, Laura and Kris. You're all brilliant and generous friends and we really appreciate your presence (and your presents, of course!) Stacy was a great host and kept everyone fed, watered and entertained, and she'll never know how much we truly appreciate her.

This is far too sappy for even the baby daddy to bear, but the warmth of friends is something that melts him sometimes. Thanks everyone, you're the best.
