Jenny & Dave's Baby Shower

Yesterday we had a very special baby shower for my cousin Jenny and her husband Dave. They rushed off this morning to Ohio to be there for the birth of their soon to be adopted son! J & D have been trying to build a family for several years and about 2 months ago, they were chosen by this child's birthmother to be his Mommy and Daddy! Please, everyone, send your best wishes and prayers to all involved in this very amazing but intensely emotional event.

With positive anticipation of David Kenneth's birth and bringing him home forever, the men in the group went and checked out the local military museums (fun!)and we ladies enjoyed a beautiful celebration at a restaurant overlooking the ocean (good choice SIL D!). On a "domestic adoption red thread" note the waitress informed us that *she* was adopted and that she always thought being adopted was very special because she knew how much her family wanted her.
Here are some pictures of the sweet little gifts Jenny (and oh yeah, Dave) received for their son.

Soon to be Grandma Jude is ready to take on her new role!

Cousin Shannon had a doggie theme goin'.

Cousin D brought in the golf theme.

Aunt Jacque knew Jenny's fondness for nursery rhymes.

Baby shower today, baby boy tomorrow!

A windy but beautiful day!
