Coast Baby Shower

Daniel and I drove down to Ocean Springs this past weekend for our second baby shower. It was held at his Aunt Katherine's house/bed and breakfast, Chateau Blessey. The day, the decor, the company, and the food was outstanding! I haven't gotten copies of all of the photos we took, but Sherri did provide hers! I look really huge in these pics. I guess that's because I am! Here's hoping I don't get much bigger! Baby Martin should be growing to fill up the space instead of the 'space' growing anymore!

It was much warmer on the coast than here in Oxford, but we couldn't have had a more beautiful day! I was so happy to get to spend time with Sherri and the girls!



Beth, who currently lives in Ocean Springs, was able to come! It was so nice to see her!


We dined on the front porch overlooking the beachfront! Uncle Walter made a wonderful meal for us! Boiled shrimp, pasta with marina, salad, fresh papaya, and bread! Lunch was followed by a wonderful cake! Yes, I did have a piece, and yes, it did make me fail my glucose test that afternoon. So worth it though! So delicious!


Daniel had planned to drop me off and go have man time with his brother, but instead stuck around to help out! He and Zach made wonderful wait staff!


After lunch we moved inside to open gifts. Madeline and Avery were a big help! They handed me presents and gave their expert seal of approval for each gift!






The wonderful hostesses gave us a beautiful Walter Anderson print to hang in the nursery! Let's hope Daniel can persuade our friend Rebekah to paint this one for us as well! She's the best!


Thank you wonderful hostesses! (from L to R: Mrs. Wavra, my MIL, me, Aunt Katherine, Mrs. Kortman, and Mrs. Wilson)


Besides 'working' the shower, Daniel also got to spend lots of time with the nieces. They sure do love their silly Uncle Daniel!


The happy soon-to-be parents!
