One fish...

Last Saturday a few friends from church threw me a wonderful baby shower with the cutest Dr. Seuss-themed decorations, food and treats.  One of them even took professional-style photos of the whole thing that I wanted to share...

Like I said, everything was ADORABLE! 

The gifts were wonderful and it was great to have "girl time" with so many fun ladies!

I generally don't enjoy being in the spotlight (I honestly think I almost had a heart attack before my bridal shower!) but amazingly, this baby shower was easy and comfortable for me...because of the people.  We've only lived in Manteca for four months, but I already feel like we have a wonderful "village" of people to help us raise our little guy!
And we are so grateful.

a note from the author

I know that one of my favorite things in life is watching videos, reading about, and seeing pictures of my friends and family with their adorable kids, impressive DIY projects, adventurous trips and general thoughts on life.  On the other hand I am sometimes appalled at how poorly I keep in touch with good friends and members of my family!  So I have decided to give the blogging world a try.  I can't promise to be consistent but I think I will enjoy sharing our adventures in the far away land of California with our very favorite people.  Thanks for being one of them!

Much love,

ellen
