Kim, Matt and I finished setting up for the baby shower in the morning and then went to Nick and Natasha's church for the baby's dedication. It was actually a very nice service and Nolan tolerated most of it without crying. The odd time he fussed, Natasha would just take him away for a while.
We got back to my house about 1 P.M. and set out the food and drinks for the guests who were about to arrive. It was just gorgeous out in the backyard with warm and sunny weather...we were very lucky. We did go inside to open the gifts because there were so many of them. That baby has so much!
The shower was from our side of the family and Natasha doesn't know everyone yet but I think she was quite touched by all the love directed towards her and Nolan. I keep telling her how wonderful our family is and now she's starting to understand. She was very good about letting everyone handle her little boy and he was quite good about allowing us to maul him shamelessly.
It seems like the few hours the shower lasted went by very fast and soon we were saying our goodbyes, hugging and kissing like we always do. Kim stayed to help me clean up before dragging her poor tired body home. She'd put a lot of work and thought into making this a great day for us all and she deserves her rest, bless her heart.
Me, I went straight to the computer with a dish of leftover goodies and that was my dinner. Bad..but good.
