Entry 14: Good Bye!

What a great time! I sincerely hope you all enjoyed the party.  Thank you for your participation.  I know we are all really excited for Meagan and Ryan. Can hardly believe the baby will be here before we know it.

Meagan - We can't wait to meet him!

Thank you for joining us. Please take home the left-overs and grab a balloon or stay a little longer and take a swim. I'm actually going to grab a quick nap before I leave.


As soon as Meag chooses the babies' name, we'll have the (is it the third?) centerpiece give away.  And then of course another one to the person who first answers her Chinese sign. 

And then finally, I'd like Meagan to take one home for the baby's room.  And if there is one left and I think there is but I can't remember because I've had too much to drink at this party, let's leave it here on the table to remember this fantastic time we had celebrating, chatting and waiting for the baby.

Safe travels everyone!



Entry 13: Music Makes the World Go Round

We all love music, especially kids.

My daughter loved it when we played the Mama Mia CD when she was about 6 months old.

What albums/songs do your children like, or did you like as a child?
Also what songs remind you of children and your relationship with them?


We bought several nursery rhyme CDs for long rides once Diana was about 2.  One really made us laugh because it censored Three Blind Mice (no carving knives in this version) but had a hearty rendition of Hot Cross Buns that was so inappropriate, it was uncomfortable.  We needed a shower every time we heard it.

Entry 12: Name the Baby

Meagan has confidentially told me that we get to name the baby.   Yay!  She will choose the name she and Ryan like best from the first 5 responders.  The winner (Meagan will choose her favorite!) will win a centerpiece and bragging rights.

Please enter your first and middle name choice!  I'm pretty sure Meagan wants something very unique!
