A Day of Celebrations

On Saturday, June 28, it was a fun filled day with family and friends to celebrate and prepare for Madison’s arrival (baby showers) and our 11th year Wedding Anniversary.

The first shower was at St. Mary and Joseph Catholic Church in Valparaiso. We introduced the new grandma’s and great grandmas. Then we played some wonderful games, which were coordinated by the Aunts. The most particular game that received a lot of attention was the gestation period for certain animals. Did you know that an elephant gestation period is 650 days? Oh my.. I thought 266 days (human average) was enough! We then enjoyed a very nice lunch, then opened gifts. Madison is going to have so many new things to play with and enjoy.

The second shower was at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Ceresco. We had an indoor picnic, enjoyed a plethora of beef jerky, opened gifts, then ate more beef jerky. Madison received more wonderful gifts. We are so thankful to have such wonderful friends and family. Thanks for all that you do for us. We cannot wait for you to meet and see Madison.
