It is so fun that my cousin closest in age to me is due in just a short few months. She had a wonderful baby shower off Lake Michigan in Milwaukee on Sunday. The morning weather was icy rain with forcasted snow to follow. There were many flooded roads on the way; but, after lunch at the bistro, the rain stopped shortly after we arrived, the fog lifted after lunch, and the view of the lake was as gorgeous as ever. Dannie and I spent many nights at the lake and it was good to visit again. It made me want to spend lots of time at the ocean with Quinn this summer!

Jen with one of the funniest baby books ever invented
"Do's and don'ts of parenting"/something like that. This page showed how to exercise baby and shows not to have them use a bench press. Jen was crying from laughter by the book's end. Claire said, 'Oh, you're not supposed to do that?' and 'That's a good idea!' to some of the captions.
DESSERT! Bread pudding with raisins, a caramel sauce, banans and strawberries with cream. The meal was AMAZING, but overall not Quinn friendly...we had a rough 12 hours after, but it was worth it if you ask me!

I really thought it was OK to put your baby in a tub and spray her/him with a garden hose to bathe them! What is the harm?? It's no different than a shower.
pictures are fun. the dessert looks yummeeee.
Jen-- the book said not to bench press with the new baby.. did it say anything about working out on an eliptical while holding baby??
