Showers Of Love

We have had 3 showers so far. We have wonderful friends.

The first shower was given by the ladies in our Sunday School class. Tammy Hern hosted at her house with the assistance of Marla, Traci, Daniele and Melissa . There were lots of girls from the class there and we had great fun. These are great women who have always shown great love and support for us. They gave us wonderful things for Ian. Charlie's job now is to figure out how to put the rockin' jitter buggy together.

The next shower was held by the staff at the South Tulsa Cancer Center (one of the offices I manage). My good friends Debbie and Laura were the hostesses. The shower was held at Debbie's house in Claremore. We had a great time with all of the food and fellowship. Kimberley was there with her adorable little girl, Emilee (who's 2 years old). Terry was there with her grand-daughter, Alexa, who's about 5 months old. Traci was there...who is pregnant. Julie, Kelly, Cindy, Disa, Shani, Carol and of course Deb and Laura were all there as well. The food was great. Ian was certainly showered with lots of presents and fun stuff. Laura made a beautiful scrapbook for him. She's going to teach me how to scrapbook....since I haven't a clue and she's obviously a pro. What a wonderfully fun day.

The third shower was held at the Yale Cancer Care office. Lori & Amy hosted it during lunch on Wednesday, 11/9. Robin made the cake....which was absolutely delicious. She makes the best carrott cake in the world. The base of the cake was carrott...then she had an airplane on top (Ian's nursery is in airplanes) that was white cake (another of my favorites). Yum, yum, yum, yum. Lots of folks from the office came downstairs and the presents just kept coming. Kevin helped me keep things moving. Amy and Lori did a great job and surprised me with a framed picture of Ian that had been matted and all of the folks in the office had signed. It is just beautiful and I was truly, truly touched.

Through all of this, I have truly felt the love and support of our friends. I know that Ian will not only be loved by us and our family....he will be loved by our extended family....our friends.

Thanks to everyone who came to the showers, purchased gifts or sent their well wishes. We appreciate everything and love all of you.
