• Hi! Last Sunday, I hosted a surprise baby shower for my friend Erin (from Colorado, in case you did not read my previous entry). I was glad so many of her friends could make it - and it reaffirmed our need for a bigger home! I gave her a yellow swaddling blanket from her registry (wish I had one when Zachary was born!) and a pair of navy Robeez. She received mostly gift certificates, which I think will be useful in getting the big ticket items. Oh, and get this. I made a bunch of favors the night before ... and then forgot to pass them out.

  
  

   

  
  

   

  
  

     

  
  

    

  
  

  We kicked off this weekend with Ryan's first birthday party. I met Ryan's mom at my mom's group - eventually she moved to Arizona and I went back to working outside the home. Her parents live in the area, so she flew back to celebrate Ryan's birthday at their house. I love their backyard - lots of mature, shady trees. I got to see a few of my mom's group friends again - it's been about 6 months and our babies have become toddlers!

  
  

   

  
  

    

  
  

    

  
  

  In the evening, James' parents came over for dinner. There was a train meet in Sacramento, and they're staying at our place this weekend. Zachary really loves playing with his Grandpa! (Below, they are playing with a Little People set from my friend Yoon... who also sent us 2 books and rainboots, all from Zachary's Amazon wish list. I have such generous friends - thanks Yoon & Chuck!)

  
  

    

  
  

  Tomorrow, we're going to Kaitlyn's 1st birthday party. Happy birthday to Ryan and Kaitlyn! I'll end this entry with a 3-picture bonus for the grandparents...
