First we want to thank the ladies that planned the shower (Cathy, Dorene, Tanya, and Sue), it turned out fantastic.  We also wanted to thank Phil and Sue for allowing us to have the shower at their house.  Due to the rain, we had to have the shower in the house but I think it still worked out well.

We had a great turnout and want to thank everyone for coming.  We got many great items, including clothes, books, a swing, a bouncer, diaper bag, diapers, a play gym, bath items, medical items, and many more things.

We also played a few games.  One where we weren’t allowed to say the words baby or I.  If someone caught you they were able to take one of your three pennies.  The person with the most pennies was the winner.  Dan’s children were the winners and they were kind enough to give us all of their pennies to put in the babies new ISU piggy bank.  The other game was where we had to guess the price of different baby items and the person with the closest total was the winner.  Linda was the winner of this game. 

This is the diaper cake that my friend Stephanie made for us.  The whole thing is made out of diapers and then she added a variety of baby items.  What an awesome idea!!  Thanks so much Stephanie!

Here is the picture slideshow from the special day.  Thanks to Michele for being our photographer for the day.

The furniture has arrived and we LOVE it!!  The crib is a convertible crib which means it’s a crib, toddler bed, and full size bed.  Hopefully it lasts throughout her whole life.  That might be wishful thinking, but I hope not.  Now with the furniture here we are one step closer to being ready for the baby to get here.

The furniture is Bonavita Metro Lifestyle.  We originally ordered a different dresser but when we went back they had just started carrying this one and we liked it much better. 

In the pictures you can sort of get a feel for the yellow that we painted the walls.  It’s so hard to tell if the color shows as accurate because everyone’s monitors display color differently. 

After our fish boil we ventured down the road a little and found an awesome view.  The pictures do not give it justice at all!!  You could basically just see water but since the weather hasn’t completely warmed up, there was a lot of ice as well.  I can’t explain how amazing it was.  It was just so serene that we could have stayed there forever except the fact that we were freezing.  Click here for a few more pictures of the view.

Saturday we decided to check out the Sturgeon Bay Maritime Museum.  It wasn’t a huge museum but it was very interesting to learn about the history of Door County.  We didn’t take very many pictures but here are a few to show a little of what we saw.

On our way home we stopped at Renard’s Cheese and got some delicious squeaky cheese curds.  Outside they had this cute little mouse, so I had to take a picture.

While in Door County we stayed at the Bridgeport Resort in Sturgeon Bay.  It was right on the Sturgeon Bay so our view was beautiful. 

On Saturday, we decided to walk along the Bay and take some pictures. 

Here is our view on Saturday and then with the snow on Sunday.

Two more random pictures while on our walk.
