Surprise!

Our first stop was in Southern Illinois - Angie was hosting Easter on Saturday at 4 PM, barely enough time to make it even without infant stops. We drove as fast and stopped as little as we could, but it was nearing on 6 PM and S was talking about skipping it. Luckily, I never want to miss a party, and talked her out of it.

Which was a good thing, because it wasn't really Easter...But a surprise baby shower!
Great Grandpa got to hold her

There were games - diaper smelling


Bottle fillingand a relay race. (Tragically, no pictures exist of this event!)

Kendra and Angie even provided gluten free manicotti and cookies! The shower was wonderful. We were so touched - and H found her relatives to be very, very interesting.
