Coleman/Sasse Baby Shower - January 17

Well, now that Leza gave me a tutorial on downloading and modifying photos from our new camera, I can post a few shots from the baby showers.
Here are some photos from the Coleman/Sasse (Tim's family) shower. My sister-in-law Katie hosted the shower at her home (Katie and I are belly-to-belly in the shot above; she was at about 31 weeks at the time; and I was at about 19). My mother-in-law Pat and long-time close friend Leza Rebera were co-hosts. Thank you girls for putting on such a nice event. I'm sorry Leza couldn't attend - she and most of her family came down with a nasty cold just a day or 2 before the shower. But with SIX pregnant women and a gaggle of little girls present, she took the hit for the team to not be there. We missed you! :)
This pic shows some of the darling decorations the girls put out for the shower. I just loved this clothesline over the fireplace.
Look at all the pregnant women! (ranging from 12 weeks to almost 39 weeks) The other women at the shower were afraid to drink the water - for fear it was a contagious condition...
Our nephew Jack was my assistant gift-opener. He did a wonderful job!
I just had to share this shot - if you know me, you know I try to be "green". My fellow tree hugger Theresa LaVeck "wrapped" her gift in this handy reusable bag. I love it!!

While the shower was going on, the guys held a "diaper party" for Tim at the neighbor's house. All guys that wished to come play cards, eat and hang out with Tim had to bring a pack of diapers. We certainly got a good start on our diaper collection - thanks guys!
Thank you to everyone who braved the elements to attend the parties. We certainly missed those that were snowed-in. It was a great day. Thank you!!
Love,
Kristin & Tim

    So many great memories of the shower day, from the snow, the numerous pregnancies in evidence, hot chicken salad, man party at Flatt's with a 5 ft. sub and cards, fun for all the boys, loads of diapers that really were only enough for "8" days and finishing it off with Mama Mia. It was awesome. How much fun was all of that?? Also, Grandma Coleman had a load of fun even if it was a long day for her. How often does a Great Grandma get to be at a shower for her quadruplet great grandchildren? -- and now we know that it is great grandsons.

    Love you, Mom and Dad
