January has always meant one thing around here: birthday time! For so many years it was first Jim's mom's on the 4th, then Jim's brother on the 17th, Jim's on the 25th, then my dad and Mike's on the 27th. Now, that's a scad of birthdays to shop and cook and bake for. Now, we're of course two short, and we miss Jim's mom and my dad tremendously on their birthdays--doesn't mean we don't remember them. So, it came as a welcome treat to be able to throw a baby shower for Mollie, our nephew Ryan's wife this weekend. She will have a baby girl, Emma Rae, in March, and Meghan and I worked together to gather her friends and Jackie's friends over in Milpitas, where Meghan and Mike live. Their condo has a knock-out club room for entertaining for residents. I have shared a photo of Mollie's cake that we took with Meghan's camera. Oddly, we had a baby shower at work for two counselors who will both deliver within the next month or two, so even in the down economy, folks are still havin' babies, and the show must go on. Cheers to this hope for a bright future!
Babies are God's wish for life to go on...
Best Wishes for Mollie's Little Emma

How fun it would have been to be there with you at the shower! I saw Jackie's Smilebox pics and got a big grin seeing Mollie's "bump". She sure didn't have that when we were out there. She's radiant. The party looked so fun. Missing Dad too. But as you said, the show goes on and it is a good thing to remember. Now, on with the birthdays!
