shower power!

This past weekend my family came into town and we had a little vacay in Santa Cruz. Lots of lounging on the deck, food, drinks, and laughing. On Saturday we had a little baby shower at the vacation house with some of our friends. It was SO WONDERFUL to have all these people that we love and hold near and dear to us in one place... kinda like a mini-wedding minus the dress and the stress... and plus a big belly...

Here are some stolen facebook pics (thanks Joanna and Sarah) of the event and when we have time to catch up from the whirlwind weekend that the Bensons whipped up, we'll post our own...

Sarah and the belly... er, I mean, me...

Diaper cake from the Barrys... too wonderful!

Some of the ladies...

This is my mother in full-on competition mode.... she HAS to win or someone will pay... Name that Tune has never been so intense...

Team Men... Looking cool, calm, and collected under pressure.

Love these three...

Lovely Sam...

Food, beer, and the sun... can it get any better??

Time to eat!

Time to drink! Dad never let a cup go empty...

One of the many wonderful gifts we got -- the halfsie. Half American, half Canadian. Love love love.

More pics to come!

*apologies to Noelle when we were thinking of Tyler's "van down by the river/pick a cookie" yelling--we were in hysterics on the way to SF. She's a GREAT sport!
