Derek's mom, Joanne, and close family friend, Audrey Vieira, threw us a wonderful baby shower last weekend. Derek drove me down to Audrey's house in Swansea, where all of the guys were meeting up in order to head out for lunch. Everyone hung out for awhile in Audrey & Mike's beautiful backyard munching on yummy appetizers, and then the guys loaded into the M.V. to head to New Bedford for Portuguese food.
We had a wonderful spread of fabulous food, thanks to the hard work of Joanne and Audrey, as well as Aunt Doreen and others who cooked for the celebration. We had a very special cake that was decorated with animals, going along with the theme of the nursery. Joanne and Audrey also made the cutest shower favors -- pretzels dipped in white chocolate!
We enjoyed a lovely afternoon sitting outside, sharing good food and good company.
Everyone was so generous with giving us gifts for the babies, and Kaylan was a wonderful helper :) We got lots of things we still needed, like diapers, a diaper pail, clothes, a bassinet, a car seat, and many other gifts!!
I got to meet baby Emily Proctor for the first time (she was born in June), and she is adorable!
Kaylan was also her usual cute self and provided entertainment all afternoon!
Unfortunately Joanne ended up in the hospital three days later with breathing problems resulting from pneumonia. Please send her your thoughts and prayers for fast healing...
