I've known Jenessa since her birth. She's been an absolute joy to watch grow into an awesome young adult. She often babysat for my two younguns and she's always loved taking care of children. She's absolutely gahgah for her neice and nephew, so I know she's going to be a terrific mother. Such stellar people really deserve a great baby shower. It's not going to be the typical "women only" shower that has inane games such as who can diaper the doll fastest, or who can drain the baby bottle the fasted, or the standard how big around has the expectant mom gotten. This shower will be more like any other party, lots of food, lots of good conversation and drink, and hopefully loads and loads of presents for Jen and Rich's baby boy. I'm giving the shower with help from Jen's other two aunts, Jackie and Diane and of course my galpal Mona. Mona is no stranger to throwing large parties and thus far her advise has been invaluable. Thus far I've reserved tables, chairs, linens, and serving dishes from the party rental place and I've printed up all the invitations. Tomorrow I plan on getting them addressed and to the post office. Because there will probably be 50 - 60 guests I'll be having some of the food catered, which will really free us up a bit to focus on other details. I really want this to be a special day for Jen and Rich. Who doesn't love a great party?

Who doesn't love a great party?
My beautiful neice, Jenessa, was married last October. It was a beautiful wedding and her new husband is a peach. Rich is a hard worker, has been with her through thick and thin, and he clearly loves her. All the requisite qualities for a good husband. Soon after their wedding they got pregnant and she's due later this summer. They are the ones that I'm giving the baby shower for. Aren't they a cute couple?
