Our friends Meg and Chris (no, not my sister and Brother-in-law, Meg and Chris, I know it's confusing) are due the end of December with their first kiddo, his name will be Quinnlan (sp?) so they call him Q. Here are pics from the shower hosted by Chris's aunts at his mom's house in Minneapolis. Chris has been a friend since Josh and started dating and was in our wedding. I have loved Meg since the first time we met her and they are a super cute couple. It's so much fun to celebrate one of our friends in "the group" starting their family! The food was fantastic, and it was great to see Meg and "TV's Chris Nettleton" who live in Duluth where Chris is a sports broadcaster for the news station up there.
I have a few random connections to Chris's family too...his mom is a writer/editor and was my first real step into the professional world of journalism, letting me help her with some book research and also getting me my job at Minnesota Monthly back in the day...She's awesome and her house is amazing! Chris's aunt Kim happens to be the person we bought our house from. We didn't know until we were closing on the house...it's fun to see her and we got to meet her kids this time too! Her daughter Marri (sp?) wrote her name on the inside of the closet of what is now Riley's room. We thought it was sweet and left it there as part of the history of the house. (I'll check the spelling of her name as soon as Riley wakes up tomorrow, I don't want to go in there now...)
The other picture is of the three girls who were preggers at the shower, Alyssa, myself and Meg...guess I should have worn some taller shoes, huh? Alyssa and I are due about a week apart.
Ok, I'm rambling...sorry...fun party!
