Shower hosted by Grammie Sue and Aunt Stephie

Last Saturday was another special day for us. All of my relatives put together a wonderful shower at my Aunt Kathy's house. So many people contributed to an excellent day. Thanks to Mom, Steph, Gram, and all my aunts and cousins who worked so hard to make the day very special! The salads and desserts were delicious and it was so nice to be able to see and catch up with so many friends and relatives. We started with a meaningful welcome from Aunt Deb, then enjoyed the fantastic food prepared by my relatives, and then quickly opened gifts before a rain storm moved in. The setting and decorations were perfect as well. Thanks again to everyone who worked so hard to make the day very special for us.

Shower hosted by Grandma Hanson

Last weekend Mom Hanson hosted a shower for Geoff and me. It was a couple's shower held at Charlie's Crab in Grand Rapids. We both really enjoyed ourselves and the company. Thanks again for all of the time and effort that went into the wonderful shower, Mom!

Baby Newt's Crib

Last Thursday evening, after a wonderful dinner at a local Irish Pub, Geoff and I decided to put Newt's crib together. The entire process really didn't take that long at all and we are both very happy with the final result. I read the directions to Geoff and gave him the hardware necessary and he put all of the pieces together. Our next task is the dresser.
