Mary's Shower

My friend, Mary, came back to CT for a visit. She and her husband were stationed in Groton, but are now out in Monterey, CA. They are expecting their first baby in early July. It was great to see her and throw her a little "shower" during her visit. Here are a few pictures from our little get together.











The shower went great even though I had a slightly disastrous morning.
Brennan woke up early, about 5:20 for his morning feeding. I fed him and then being the good baby that he is, he went right back down. I decided to stay up because I needed to make the pineapple stuffing I was bringing to the shower. So I was up bright and early working in the kitchen. The stuffing had to bake for an hour and after it was done, I took my shower and got ready and even cleaned the house a little while Brennan was still asleep. After scooping the cat litter, I heard Ringo in the kitchen and went in and discovered this...



...Ringo had eaten my pineapple stuffing!
Thank goodness for great friends. I called Amanda, she went to the store and got the ingredients needed, and started making another batch. By the time I woke Brennan up, fed him, and got to Amanda's, it was already in the oven!
