People amaze me. It’s definitely a testament to the depths of human compassion that makes a celebration like a baby shower possible. Last Saturday, we experienced love from family and friends, manifested all at once, hopes, and best wishes, dedicated to the yet born. Jenifer's sister Melissa (as well as the rest of our family members) did a great job of putting everything together, a lovely historic punch recipe from the hearts and creative minds of the Ross family. A gooey bake-a-thon from Chloe, Brooks, Molly and Emery. Gifts, decorations, well wishes and welcome advice from loved ones, some new, some from what seems like forever ago. Preconceptions I had held about what this "girly" celebration called a baby shower lasted about five minutes, and quickly was replaced by the comfort and encouragement that only those closest to you can provide. Thank you immeasurably to anyone and everyone who was involved.

P.S. On a personal note, it was suggested and I fully endorse the idea of a "man shower", scratch that, a dad~dude celebration of impending parenthood. I wonder what that might be like?
P.P.S. Photos to follow. We just discovered our memory card reader is broken.
