Has it really been nearly two weeks since I last posted? I guess that's what happens when you attend a wedding out of town, visit family, start a new job and spend all of Sunday watching football ;)
Helen and I recently returned from a whirlwind trip in which we definitely ended up with more stuff than we left with. That's because my family threw/attended a baby shower for Norby.*
Nearly all of my relatives, from both sides of the family, showed up in full force. And while historically some of them have been a little....frugal, they went all out for our daughter. It was like the girls' section of Babies R Us exploded. So much cute pink stuff! Special thanks to mom and dad who hosted the event and big props to Lori, who traveled across the country to be there, then left the next day.
Luckily, Helen has the foresight to recommend bringing an extra suitcase for our trip. Amazingly, we fit all the baby presents and clothes in there, and didn't have to send anything back via FedEx. Now, Norby is all set for clothes until she's 15 years old...
*For those who haven't been following this blog closely, Norby is short for 'Norbit,' the nickname we gave our baby. It is NOT going to be the real name of the girl. Apparently some people thought it was.
P.S. Happy 41st Anniversary, mom and dad!
