A Berry Sweet Shower

The Man-Cub and I just returned from the baby shower for Mikey and his new wife. Shanti had to work, so she couldn't join us, but she sent her well wishes and the gift that she and the Cub had picked out for the baby. 

Three out of the Fearsome Foursome were together again (Tones was unable to make it), and it was such a joy to see these boys (men, now) back together again.


It was also nice to spend time with Miss Shelly and Trace's mom, Kathy. Kathy was delighted to hear that Tonia and I have a Bunco group and would like her to join.

Miss Shelly is not interested in Bunco, but is definitely interested in spending time with her first granddaughter when she is born in April.



The theme of the shower revolved around strawberries...


...so you can bet your behind I went all in on strawberry-themed baby items.


The basket I put together held a strawberry-patterned bathrobe, a set of bath towels, including one with a hood made to look like a strawberry stem, washcloths, a travel set of bath products, a travel pacifier sanitizer, a strawberry-shaped teething ring, and the book Going on a Bear Hunt.




As we left the shower, the couple gifted us each with a tiny jar of strawberry jam, which was a sweet and thoughtful party favor.

It's hard to believe that Second Son Mikey is old enough to be a dad, but then I remind myself that Hugh and I were 25 and 26 when Queen B was born and it doesn't seem quite as unbelievable since Mikey will be 28 in October.

I guess the most unbelievable thing is just how quickly time goes by.
