Tie-dye Creations

Here is a sampling of some of the one-of-a-kind tie-dye art created by our friends and family at the baby celebration! Twenty-five onesies were customized at the party, and we love them all! (Our child will either love us or hate us for this...hopefully we'll be forgiven! Tie-dye makes us smile, and I'm guessing spit-up stains will be a cinch to hide!)

By the way, Matt and Angela captured some great photos of the party on their blog, too. Check out the link to their site on the right...

Baby Celebration

Earlier this month, Cathy and Ken hosted a very fun, very relaxed gathering of some of our closest family and friends to celebrate the upcoming arrival of our baby. We had a great time, and we'd like to thank those of you who were able to attend for creating such a great day for us.

My sister and her husband drove up from San Diego. Aunt Julie and Uncle Dave have already started to spoil their first niece or nephew to-be!

It was a beautiful day, so we spent a lot of time enjoying the backyard.

Getting down and dirty tie-dying onesies!

Later in the day, we were coaxed into opening gifts...We were definitely "showered" despite our protests! Thank you all for your kindness and generosity!

Grampa Kenny and Nana Cathy had fun selecting an ice cream cake for the celebration. The decorations featured an outdoor theme with a baby in a canoe. The caption on the side of the cake read "May the Forest Be With You." Perfect for our little family!
