took a shower

This past Saturday, we had a few folks come over for a backyard BBQ/Baby Shower!

Many thanks to those who came and we missed seeing those who couldn't attend.

Also, thanks again to those who helped (grill mastering, taking pictures, setting up, loaning lawn furniture, bringing food/drink, smiling)....we had a great time and I know the baby was loving every moment!

Here are some pix below.....
