First Baby Shower

Of all the places it could be...Forest Park, St. Louis was the perfect pick.
Ruth Nichols (soon to be Harlow) gave us a baby shower, picnic style, by the Grand Basin at Forest Park. She made my favorite apple brickel dip and brought yummy hummus and dip chips. My favorite treat was all who came decorated plain, white onesies for our little one to wear. Yeah! It was personal and perfect. Great idea Ruth!

Here are photos of everyone who came...we missed those unable to come. Hopefully we will be back in STL next Spring for a visit or sooner.

Thanks Bailey for the book and photo frame and future blanket.
The gifts were perfect. I loved getting other items that were personal from friends and not only what we registered for.

Thanks to the Harts, Wickers, Stiths, Ruth Nichols, and Sanders for all the gift cards. They are always awesome...I'll let you know what we get with them. (Probably diapers galore- cloth and disposable).

Thanks to our old small group from Old Orchard for the diaper bag...Tim will actually wear this one.

Thanks to mom and dad Nichols for the Car seat protector. This was a necessity.

Jackie Fogas came to represent her sweet family (Michael and Gabby were taking a nap at home). Thanks for the sleeper and rings.

Thank you for the gifts...the best gift was to see your faces and get hugs! Thank you for continuing to invest in our lives and the life of this new little one. He or she will know you all well.
