December 21, 2008

Yesterday was your baby shower -- the first of many celebrations in your honor.  I hope you are better with these types of events than I am.  Don't get me wrong, I had a wonderful time and feel very blessed to have so many people care, but I always feel very awkward as the center of attention.  In general, I'm more comfortable at events focused on someone other than me.  You should grow up with a lot more opportunities to get used to being the guest of honor, though, so hopefully you'll be more at ease.

Despite my nerves, the shower was wonderful.  BaBa, Nanie and Aunt Shery hosted it and some of my best friends (Emily), Daddy's distant relatives (Patty, Connie, the Aunts) and even my Aunt Jan, Mindy and Melanie were able to come.

We had a delicious brunch and everyone gave us gifts to help us prepare for you.  Everyone is excited to meet you and have you in the family.  When we travel back to Kansas City you are going to be surrounded by so many friends and relatives.  I hope you love it!
