Showered with Love, Cleveland Style

Last month, our friends in Cleveland hosted a co-ed baby shower to welcome Baby T and celebrate his pending arrival.  It was a fun night full of good friends, great food and lots of laughs.  We played a couple of funny games – guessing the circumference of my growing belly and drinking beer, or water in my case, out of bottles.  The second game was MUCH harder than it sounds for those of you who haven’t recently been bottle-fed. :)

We also had a couple special guests of honor – our good friend Andrea, who moved back to Switzerland last year, surprised us with an appearance.  We were touched beyond words to have her join us!  Also my mom was in town to help us with some last minute items so she was able to share in the fun also, which was great.   

Thank you again to the wonderful hosts for a fun night!

The gals!

Measuring the bump...

The winner - a pediatrician, is that an unfair advantage?

Cheers to Baby T!

Crazy Cat Lady

It wasn’t long ago that I was a self-professed ‘dog person’. When Jeff and I met five and a half years ago, the fact that he had two cats wasn’t exactly a selling point, in my mind anyway. Still, after a brief courting period (btwn the cats and I), I grew to love Boots and Precious. So when dear Precious went on to catnip-filled pastures and Boots seemed lonely, the logical answer seemed to add to our litter.

So, one year ago today, we adopted our fury baby, Aloysius, from the Animal Protective League. I can say with 100% certainty that Aloysius (or Alo as we call him) has stolen my heart and turned me into that Crazy Cat Lady. I like to think that Alo’s a dog trapped in a cat’s body but really he’s just a cool cat and we love him to bits.

How does all this tie back to Baby T’s pending arrival? Well, goodness, if we can fall so in love with a cat, I can only imagine how smitten we will be with our little guy! The countdown is officially on now that we are in December. Currently T – 28 days!!

First Day Home - So fun and playful!

A little ornery...

He's flexible too!

All grown up!
