Stephen and Jen were in town

-

This past several days have been a whirlwind --- but you knew that from the title of this post.  Late last week Jen, and her Mom stayed with us and her Grandma, and step-Dad (Fa’s parents) and Grandma (Jim’s mom) and brother Doug and finance Haido stayed at the nearby Marriott.  Yes there was a crowd at our house – but it was delightful.

 The occasion was Jen’s baby shower at Mark and Marie’s hosted by Marie, Barbara, and Beth.

 The mother-in-law, that would be Patt enjoyed herself too assisting in the present showering.

 A great crowd of cousins, and Aunts and such were present.

As was Stephen, who made a cameo appearance – to be equipped with a diaper bag.

 The young couple approaching one of those life changing moments.  (they truly are almost delusional) – so it is going to be a fun ride – but we have been there.

 And at the close of the day we all had a wonderful Thai dinner with much good times.

Getting this stuff packed was not easy --- not easy at all.  But all of it was !!
