Just last weekend, Annie, Ashley, Mellie and Marvin all made the 8+ hour drive from DC to Boston -- in the middle of the night no less. Annie and Anne co-hosted a Baby-Q shower for Sean and I in our backyard and it was completely awesome.

I'm still getting comments on how delicious the food was -- but just to be clear, Sean and I literally did nothing. We took showers, walked downstairs, ate and hung out. Our friends gave up their free Saturday afternoon to celebrate our new adventure and boy, was I completely overwhelmed with their generosity. We got everything from registry items to handmade quilts and blankets, to baby fishing poles and clothes for me, to Starbucks cards for Sean. I guess there's nothing like a baby shower to make you realize you've got a pretty sweet group of friends. A group of friends who would probably rather spoon their eyes out than sit and watch you open presents, but spend their Saturday with you nonetheless.

To top off that following week, Sean's co-workers all got together and took us out for an awesome multi-course lunch at the Italian restaurant Toscano's in Beacon Hill. It was delicious and they even made us a pink, strawberry cake to top off the meal. They gave us a gift from the whole group, but even beyond that, Sean continued to come home with gifts from various people.
