Baby Shower and Ike

With great fury, Hurricane turned Tropical Storm Ike barely glanced off of Dallas-Ft. Worth bringing just a few rain showers and a decent Kansas like breeze. But nothing to hamper or take the shine off of Brendan's baby shower.

Bri and I would like to thank everybody that attended, and especially Stacey, Tania, and Jennifer for everything they did to make it happen.

Also give Bri a lot of credit for the work she put in helping to get the house in order, including the mammothly quick task or re-doing our garden, although her job on that was more finger pointing.



I believe the only complaint if it can be considered a complaint was the mapping technology of Mapquest and its ability to turn people around in our area since it's a somewhat new neighborhood.

In all we had fun, and enjoyed the company at our house, and look forward to everyone stopping by again when little guy is here.

That said, following yesterday's shower of gifts, we continued to fill in today thanks to the afore mentioned Babies R Us sale. We were able to acquire some other somewhat high dollar essentials like the Pack And Play, and baby monitor, along with a swing.



So now the wait continues, and enters its final month. It will definitely go fast for me at least with football season having begun. And any football fan knows this time of year blows by quickly because of that.

We are within a month of Grandma Sumner arriving, albeit on a bad night. I mean come on, opening night for the Colorado Avalanche, and her plane arrives at face off time. I think this was an elaborate plan by the women Sumner myself ;). But I can't complain, she should be coming bearing Tim Horton's Coffee, and the entrance fee into our home...Tim Horton's doughnuts.

Again thank you to everyone who came to the shower, and if he could, Brendan would thank you for all the gifts, we certainly do..
