AM Showers

Dear Henry,

Today mama and papa were honored to attend your first shower.

Daddy's co-workers were so excited about your arrival they quickly got together
a shower to welcome you into the world. They cooked up a grand breakfast with some awesome eggs, bacon, pancakes (blueberry even, daddy's favorite), fruit,
donuts, and sausage.

Then they bought you a whole heap of gifts. Anne even hand made you a beautiful snuggly blanket! That means she must think you're pretty special.

You really love your soft lamb seat. When I put you into it today you sunk into its marshmallow pillows and you sighed and smile the second real smile I've seen you make. You received many wonderful books, handsome outfits, blankets, diapers, a mirror so I can see you in the car, a couple of first toys for the bathtub, a vaporizer to keep your nose clear, a fluffy frog towel and lots of other great things!

It is assuredly really nice to know that even if daddy can't be home with us during the day and he has to be at work helping people that he works with such warm,
nice and thoughtful people.


We felt so happy and proud to have our boy, YOU!, honored in this way.

Love,
Mommy and Daddy
