Andrew's Baby Shower  

Posted by Amber

My friend Rachel Engle offered to host a baby shower for Andrew. The original date was March 20th, but we had to postpone since Andrew decided to come on the 15th :) The new date was June 8th. Rachel was hosting that month's lunch bunch - a monthly pot luck lunch for the English-speaking sisters in the ward to get together - so she asked if we could combine it. I don't usually go to lunch bunch because of kids, traffic, and no car, but we made arrangements with our driver, Andres, so we went. (To date, that is the only lunch bunch I've been to. Another deterrent is coming up with something to take to share! :) In case you're wondering, I made peach cobbler.)

Henlie fell asleep on our way to La Molina - just like this.

It was lots of fun to chat with my friends and make some new ones. Since we're in the primary, we really don't visit with people much. We had yummy food. Henlie had a blast playing with all of their toys. And then we had presents and took a group picture, which I don't seem to have a copy of. Oh well.

Cute diaper motorcycle Rachel made.

Rachel was going to have her driver come get us, but they were in the process of finding someone new. Fortunately, we'd started really using Andres, so we just had him pick us up. He was also super helpful in getting all of our gifts in the house too. Rachel sent me home with the balloons she got for decorations, and we were having a wee issue getting them out of the way so we could drive safely, so I handed Andrew to Andres and tried to fix it. Andres loves Andrew. Probably because he was always taking us to and from the clinic and Andres and Matt are friends. And maybe because they have the same name, just in different languages haha. He loves Henlie too, but I think there's an extra special spot in his heart for Andrew. :)

She doesn't sit in cars well....

Cute whale balloon.

We got some lovely things, and fortunately everyone got the email to give us larger sized clothes since he was outgrowing his newborn clothes. Everyone was so generous, and it was wonderful to get out of the house and socialize. I really should try to do that more...
