Babies Galore!

Holy cow, it seems like everyone is having babies all of the sudden! Like, when did my friends get old enough to have kids!

First of all, congratulations to Billy and Barb - Billy is one of my really good friends from high school and they just had their first baby - a healthy little boy! Yeah! He's absolutely adorable!

Yesterday I went to a really cool baby shower. It was for a coworker who has sworn up and down that she and her husband weren't going to find out what sex the baby is (she's about 5 1/2 months along). They had a co-ed baby shower, which was cool because her husband and his friends could participate. They played some fun games, like matching celebrities to their children by their names and naming nursery rhymes based off of one line. It was more like a big party than anything else. Then they walked around and had everyone pick a colored safety pin (blue for a boy, pink for a girl) depending on what you thought they were going to have. You were also given a little bag and told not to open it. They had everyone open their bags at the same time and inside were little pink mints that said "It's a girl!". How cute is that?! Their parents were here from back East, so they were crying and everyone was super excited. Very cool.

Today has been mellow. We went to church and then to brunch. I finally found a choir here that I'm going to join. I've been looking for somewhere that does a nice blend of traditional and contemporary music. I'll start rehearsing with them in a few weeks. Yeah!

Hope you're all having a great weekend!
