Baby Shower

Rachel's second baby shower was this past weekend in Colorado. Marie and I flew out of rainy LA Friday afternoon and into warm(er), dry Denver. I was hoping for "real" weather but while we had a few sprinkles, it was mostly dry, warm and beautiful. The three of us spent Saturday in Estes Park, shopping and stalking the herd of elk that were hanging out at the local golf course.
Sunday's baby shower was held in the community room at the Loveland Police Department (perfect location - plenty of room and Rachel's on-duty friends could stop by & join in some of the festivities.) Lunch was a baked potato bar (tastylicious idea - plus easy to set up and clean up)
and dessert was this gorgeous cake, handmade by one of Rachel's co-workers. She swore the icing only took about 20 minutes, but it looked like it should have taken hours. The Pooh is solid chocolate with icing rosettes for decoration. Gorgeous. And tasty!

Addy received lots of presents - she will definitely be the best dressed baby in Colorado. My favorite present was this fabulous knit blanket handmade by Aunt Caroline. Soft & beautiful.
Addy's mommy's next doctor's appointment is tomorrow. We should have a better idea about a due date then. Will Addy be early? Will she be late? Will she arrive on Aunt Wenona's birthday? Stay tuned!
