This is Deb posting again (though the Blog will always say, 'posted by Charles Swift'). In mid-September we went to Boise for TWO baby showers. On Saturday, my high school friend Kim hosted a shower. The photos show two of the games: 'Pin the Iris on the Province' and 'Speed Diaper Changing.' For the first game we (Charles and I) provided several clues as to Iris' home province in China, Jiangxi, and everyone else tried to pick out the province on the map of China. Kay and Shannon were the winners. For the second game we tried to properly change the diaper of the teddy bear in the sleeper - as fast as possible. I requested this game because neither I nor Charles have ever changed a diaper in our lives! The second photo shows Charles taking his turn. He did not get a very good score. The winner was my sister-in-law, Tami. Kim made some excellent Chinese appetizers and we hauled in some magnificent baby loot!!
The second baby shower was on Sunday, co-hosted by my mom (Mardy), and my godmother, Shirley. It was really a 'grandmother shower' and mom was so pleased to use the ladybug theme (an icon of sorts for adoption in China), since she has always liked ladybugs. She took loads of pictures, but none are posted here because they were film photos. For this baby shower, I had neglected to mention a preference for gender neutral clothing, and WOW - what a collection of pink clothes Iris will have!!! She will look very stylish!
It was great fun to share the excitement of the adoption with friends and family. And before the baby showers, we had no baby stuff at all; we really needed EVERYTHING.
