Amy with baby shower hosts Bob, Dale, & Sarah. Thanks you guys for an awesome baby shower! Complete with bloody mary's, mimosa's, yummy food, and many of our wonderful friends. It was so fun to celebrate with everyone one more time before he comes! Thanks everyone for coming!
lot's of little ones! from left to right:

Sarah Salo, Lilah Salo, Clover Mills, Stefanie Kuecker, Jason Mills, Ryan Hallett, Emily Hallett, Cate Hallett. Even more babies not pictured here: Courtney LaRoche's little guy Emerson. Last year was a popular year for having babies! Our little guy will have lots of playmates already.

where's baby Lilah?

Patrick in the "beverage room". We were so busy we didn't get a picture together :( I think Bob took this one for me! I think Sarah took more pix, I'll add them too.

Amy & Courtney - we're due within 4 days of each other! Here we are at our 36th week. We took a picture together early on too - see earlier post. I hope our hospital visits coincide!

Holy Feet!

36 weeks
They said this was going to happen...the swollen feet & hands...and oh it did. Patrick looked at them and after he could pause from laughing so hard he said, "It looks like your feet got ran over by a car!" "It looks like there are softballs connected to your ankles!" I remember when Mom was pregnant with Maria, and Uncle Jeff said she should "go poke holes in her legs and go water the lawn." Ahhh, the humor in it all.
(Just a small side note: I wonder if the fact that I ate an entire watermelon in 2 days has anything to do with this? I still can't get enough fruit; I'm halfway through my 2nd watermelon.)

A beautiful Saturday

Great Auntie Sue, Cousin MariJane, & Cousin Colleen

Colleen & Jim: great couple, & amazing cooks too.
Saturday, May 31st was an absolutely beautiful day, and we got to spend it with Auntie Sue, Cousin MariJane, and Cousin Colleen celebrating our little guy. They showered us with such wonderful gifts and of course their amazing culinary skills. They always make such wonderful meals, we are spoiled every time we see them. They are my only family in town, and I love that they are only minutes away (and that they're so much fun too!) Auntie Sue and Uncle Greg come up from Milwaukee often too, and this weekend is an annual trip for them as they visit the Edina Art Fair. And coincidentally, my parents' neighbors, Chuck & JoAnn Weber were up to display Chuck's work. Check out his website: http://www.customoilportraits.com/ So we got to see them too! Such incredibly talented family & friends!

Guess who?!

On Saturday, May 3, JoAnn Brown hosted a beautiful shower honoring our little guy! Present were many of our friends & family from Patrick's side. One of the really fun things we did was look at everyone's baby photos and try and guess who they are. I'll post some here and see if you can guess, then check out the cool webpage JoAnn put together to show pictures from the event. Thanks JoAnn for such a special day!
