Baby shower, Feb. 6

Here are a few photos from one of the wonderful baby showers thrown in Santa Rosa the past few weeks. Baby Janzen and I were blessed with SO many great gifts. It was also great to see so many good friends all in one place. Marisa & Becca very thoughtfully incorporated the bird theme throughout the shower, even on the cupcakes! And a sign that read "welcome baby birdie" which I want to hang in the nursery the first few months.

I've organized the nursery and luckily found a spot for most everything now. This girl is totally geared up, with many dresses and a full shoe collection that should keep her going through the first year. (photos of a small sample below)



Carolyn & John, Star and Hank came to visit Santa Rosa for one of the showers on Feb. 6. It was great to spend time with them at my parents' house where we enjoyed many roaring fires and got to be woken up each morning by Lola (the boxer). Great Grandma Bergie gave us a wonderful gift: Uncle Bob's old satin baby blanket. It is the most beautiful and precious baby blanket; blue one side and pink the other (as they didn't know boy/girl) and about 60 years old. Thank you to all for the wonderful gifts!!

Also shown are a few pictures from Todd and I's Valentine's day adventure to Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. We had a really good time despite his aching foot and my pulled groin muscle. We hobbled along together and managed to see it all. The rainforest and the Planetarium were the highlights of the day.
