Stacy and Nick came to the PNW for a baby meet-and-greet. They had not yet seen Peter or Kennedy, and wanted to see how Francie had grown since Stac's last visit in May. We girls used this opportunity to throw Stac a baby shower for her own upcoming "Little SunSHINE" - her baby girl is due at the beginning of March. It was a small but mighty shower, with a sunshine theme. It was just the 7 of us (babies included) where we ate Mexican food, drank sparkling lemonade, played a baby photo trivia game, watched Stac open presents, and Google chatted with a very pregnant Anna. Stac isn't always the best at letting others spoil her, but she was a trooper and we all got to share our excitement and love of Baby Girl Shine. I got to use this as an excuse to craft - I made a felt/burlap "sunSHINE" banner, needlefelted embroidery hoops with "You are my sunshine" lyrics, and used Photoshop to put together a "Wishes for Baby Shine" book with greetings from Stac's closest friends and family. I'm so excited for Stac and Nick to experience parenthood, and to meet this little girl - I love her already and hope that she and Francie will be the best of friends :) And now I'm especially looking forward to our Memorial Day weekend Women's Retreat - this year we're including husbands and there will be five kids, ranging in age from 2 months to 15 months. We've rented a 7-bedroom house - watch out, Hood River!
