Shower given by CP's good friends at work. Check out the precious hand-made Clothes Cake!
Baby G is truly set with some great gifts!
What a fun time for family and friends to be together. Baby G is a lucky guy to have love from so many wonderful people!

Thanks to our good friends and shower hosts for such memorable celebrations!

From Seed to Snack in < 4 months

The broccoli is here, but the baby hasn't appeared yet. 36 weeks and counting for Baby G.

As for the garden, it looks like this Broccoli seed was planted Oct 4, 2008, and we ate our first snack Jan 25, 2009. That's quite a bit improvement over the spindly yellow flowers from last year's crop!
Here's CP last weekend on a walk to feed the ducks.

Painting is a chore!

...but, I finally got the shelves done and hung them up tonight. Making the shelves and installing the shelves combined took much less time than painting, drying, steel wool-ing, and second-coating! I can't wait for the letters that will decorate the other wall... ;-)

Ok, enough complaining. I think they look good. They help unify the walls by bringing the blue color over to that wall. Plus, they are quite functional and give us more storage space in the room.
Have a look:
