This weekend Maggie and I headed to Columbia for a fun girl's weekend. My old college roomies, Paige and Janna, spent the weekend with us at my folks and we played on the lake, enjoyed the boat and played lots of bananagrams. Saturday some other college buddies joined us at Henry's first baby shower along with lots of other dear friends and relatives. It was a sport's themed shower and it was so much fun.
Here are the lovely hostesses preparing some coke floats and miniature hotdogs for our sport's themed concessions. (Erica, Courtney and Sheryl)
Enjoying some yummy snacks.
This is a quilt that says Henry on it. My grandma made it special for our sweet little boy.
These are some dear friends who drove from near and far to make it to the shower and for a little college reunion dinner afterwards at the Olive Garden. (Vanessa, Paige, Janna, Kelly)
My first attempt at a panoramic picture is a success (just don't look too closely)!
The excitement of a sport's themed shower was a little too much for sweet Karis to handle.
So what did Henry's sister do during all the festivities you ask? Well, she was quite happy playing with dogs at my parents. She also very much enjoyed having her grandparents all to herself. She even got to go on a date with her Poppa to McDonalds during the shower.
Bella and Maggie sure have missed each other...here is Bella laying one on Maggie.
Maggie absolutely loves her Grandma and Poppa. And, her mommy is so thankful for their enthusiasm and willingness to pretty much take care of and play with her all weekend!
I had to add this picture to the mix. Thursday before we left for Columbia we dug out Maggie's old halloween costume so that my friend Janna could borrow it this year for her little girl. We thought we'd try to see if it still fit, and lo and behold it did. Maggie laughed at herself in the mirror and of course we did too. This is her ta-da pose.

You're absolutely right. That IS a quilt that says Henry on it.
Oh Maggie, I miss you so much
Thank you for the sarcasm Jake...some of our readers aren't as sharp eyed as you and I felt the need to interpret ...so to speak.
Oh my goodness. Bella is HUGE.
Forget what my husband said. The quilt is precious. Jake's just jealous.
I love that your brought the duck outfit back out, that brings back many great memories for me of Lucy's first birthday and of us celebrating halloween together.
i think it's important to all that i point out that in the picture of the reunion, you are, in fact, holding a sign that says "emily"... and yet i don't see one that says 'BECCA'... and this vexes me. i'm terribly vexed.
