April Showers Bring... Babies?

This past weekend, we attended a baby shower for our son and his wife.  Our daughter-in-law and her friend did most of the planning and preparation for it, and did a marvelous job.
 
The first thing I noticed was the cookies they decorated.  Since the shower had a “bee” theme, they made sugar cookies which looked like flowers and honey bees.  Once you look at the photo, I am sure you will agree they did an amazing job decorating the cookies!
 
They also did a great job of organizing several fun activities.  (I’ll be honest, I sometimes don’t enjoy the games at showers, but I thoroughly enjoyed this afternoon.)  One of their challenges required prep work ahead of time to obtain baby photos from the guests, but once they mounted the photos on a large poster board, people had a fun time trying to guess the most correctly.  And later on, watching teams of people trying to see how quickly they could change the diaper on a doll was a hoot.
 
Some of the other activities were less competitive, but no less fun.  My daughter-in-law had baked several dozen cupcakes when she set on a table along with tubes of colored frosting and various containers of sprinkles.  Guests had a ball decorating their own cupcakes.  And those who were feeling even more artistic could then move to the next table over, where plain white bibs and onesies were waiting to be decorated with fabric paint.  This proved quite popular also, and as an added bonus, my son and his wife ended up with many personalized items for their new baby afterwards.
 
In short, it was a wonderful day, and well worth the hours of travel required to attend it.  I did regret not getting a blog out last week because of this, but I felt certain you all would understand.  After all, new grandchildren do not come along every day, and milestones like this are meant to be savored.
 
So now, I am shifting back into “normal life again.  The baby shower is over, and most of the tasks we needed to complete prior to selling our house have been dealt with.  Perhaps now I can focus a bit more on my writing while I am waiting for the new baby to come and for our new home to be determined.  If you continue reading in the coming weeks, I will keep you posted as to how both events are progressing.

This seems to be a very month for you. April had been a month full of activities and everything went amazing. That's what I like about the events, you learned from it and it gave you a positive realization about yourself. By the way, I am hoping that you will always find time to rest because that's important. I understand that you're a career-driven person and all you want is a growth for yourself. But having a time to rest is very important. Please take note of that.
