Its A Boy!

I was able to break away from the mundane of Cleveland and venture south to my hometown of Orange Park, Florida. Daisy and I decided to come for my sister, Melissa's baby shower.


The shower was so cute, complete with baby streamers, diaper cake, and bib painting station. I had a great time thanks to Betzy and Karena's great planning and I couldn't help taking a few of the adorable chocolate baby rattles.

More then anything, I was so relieved just to be home with family again. That night my dad, sisters and brother-in-law, Courtney, broke out into a spontaneous game of football. Being the first time we played the sport, it was not without moments of hilarity. I can still picture Karena doing a somersault over my dad on the ground as Daisy runs past them into the end zone. I could not stop laughing.

And of course, as always, I had to pay the ocean a long overdue visit.

Thanks for the story! I'd like to clarify one point. As I was tumbling over dad and hitting the ground, it must be noted that we DID touch Daisy and so it was NOT a touchdown. It's nice to know that eating dirt was worth the effort. :) Karena

PS. I was so sore after that game - but it was the best time ever!

thanks, for that clarification (I guess I was laughing too much to realize what exactly happened)

I'll have to print a retraction
