On The Road Again

Tony and I headed up to Cleveland so I could attend Shannon and Chris' baby shower.  We had a good time and the shower was tons of fun.  We got to see the kids, of course, and spent some time with Donna and Bob and Rose and Joe. 

Chris was great at the shower!!  I so enjoyed when he called a baby bottle brush a "toilet brush!!"    He and Shannon were touched and  surprised by all of the gifts people gave them.

We stayed at the house, which of course, has no furniture; but we slept on the air mattress and brought up a small TV so we could watch movies (no cable anymore!)

We're not sure when we will be back up, but we took alot of good memories back to Leland with us.

Highlights:

The Azalea's followed us up from Leland!!  Tony always made sure the yard looked good. 

A tree on our tree lawn getting ready to "go green!"

At the shower.  See, real men do attend showers!!!

The best Mom I know with me and Zack.

A "few" gifts....trust me, there were SO MANY more!!

Donna bought a great cake.

My beautiful daughter, with a sleepy little boy!

He was pretty much out after this. 

Shannon and Chris start to open gifts.

 Chris, sharing gifts with the group.

They got a teddy bear that will be bigger than Emma until she's 25!

Everyone commented on Zach's beautiful eyes.

Chris, working hard on unwrapping!

And, on to see the grand-kids!!

Ellie, getting her first "Papa piggyback ride!"

My sweet, Sam!

Ben eating dinner.

Sammy in "time out."  For some reason, Mommy and Daddy had a problem with Sam laying on his back on the couch, kicking his feet in the air and waving his hot dog over his head, over and over again.  Go figure!

The swim suit and robe that Tony and Marie got Emma.  She's going to be the prettiest baby on the beach!
