FL daughter Kerry, October 5,
Grandson Paxton 4yrs. old, October 14
IL Sister-in-law Dixie, October 25

Paxton opens a present of the book "Llama, llama, red pajamas". This is a really cute book about what happens when a small one is put to bed and his need to see mama one more time for reassurance. All the excuses and thoughts are so true and funny.

These are the lovely gifts that Nick and Kristi received on Amariah's behalf. I arranged the floral center piece and Phyllis provided 3 small pots of fresh flowers which added color and beauty. The shower was at Kristi's parents home that is" for sale". The house was empty and extremely roomy. It worked out great for our purposes. We brought tables and chairs, food, etc. It turned out really nice. Kristi thought this would be a more central location for friends and family to come to. There were 22 people in attendance. A pretty good turnout.

Herb and Mark --somehow I missed getting Mark's wife Linda in any of the pictures. I was puzzled about that when I put the pics on my computer. I thought I had captured everyone.

Kerry and Kristi after having our refreshements and Kristi is hoping to open gifts. However we had to play only one game. Yes, just one. Everyone was to write advice for the new mom and pop and they had to guess who gave the advice. The advice was witty- and- good- and- -theological. It was fun--really.

It looks like Andre and Matt are pondering food while Kevin and Bill are pondering conversation.

Carol and Phyllis visiting and resting a moment after setting up the food and other necessities.

Good Friends Mary and Jocelyn, and Brian's other half Sarah.

Nick and Brian solving the problems of Fatherhood? Probably not.

Silly Lucy. She says "Grandma take my picture" and then she strikes this pose. ?? Notice arm stretched out behind her.

That is better!! Always the joker.

Here is Clara and Doc. Clara seems pleasant enough but Doc seems to be staring down the camera. What's this look a little closer. Is there a hint of a smirk hiding there??
