Another Shower for Joy


Saturday we had a shower for Joy at Gaye's house. It was so nice! We had a great turn out and she got a lot of great gifts. I have a picture from Robyn that's on my work computer that I'll add later. It's a picture of me in front of Joy's (well, Brad's) blazer. The hood is up and the horn was BLARING! She was a tad stressed out. The horn was stuck and would not stop. I'm doubled over with my hands covering my ears. It was unbearable!

Finally the loud noise stopped and we were able to go back in and enjoy the party. Here are some pictures from the shower...




































Joy's family lives in Iowa and her mom couldn't come to the shower since she'll be here after the baby comes. She mailed a gift early and it was so sweet and thoughtful....half of us, including Joy, were in tears. First, Joy pulled out an old red Christmas infant outfit. She looked at it and commented on how it kind of looked familiar. She concluded that it must have been hers. Also in the box were several children's books that belonged to her when she was little. Finally, she pulled out a picture frame that opened like a book. It was hinged. On one side was a picture of Joy's grandma holding baby Joy in that very same outfit. The other side of the picture frame is blank.

I'm getting ready to update my blog. I have to add that funny picture of you in front of the blazer. It was pretty wild. I am so excited about this baby I can hardly wait!
