Fathers Everywhere---Happy Day!!!

Well, today is Shaun's 1st Father's Day and he is hanging out with me (and our confined to my belly baby, Enoch) eating a little microwaved breakfast. I must admit, he's not getting a lot of special gifts today because he's already aware of his gift---tickets to see Brian Regan (comedian) on Thursday night.

Here's a re-post of a 21 week picture we got back in February of Enoch's lips and nose for your Father's Day enjoyment.
Oh, and yesterday we went to Ikea and got the perfect dresser for Enoch's room which will also double as a changing table. Now, we only need to re-organize the 2nd room so that we can set up the baby stuff. We'll post pictures of our hard work later...after we perform the hard work.

This last weekend---Bellevue, Woodinville, Lynwood, and Kirkland

Saturday morning, we headed to Bellevue to go to the temple one last time before I give birth. It was a very peaceful and enlightening time.

Afterwards, we headed up to Woodinville for a mini-high school friends reunion/potluck at Cottage Lake Park...across the street from where our wedding reception was held.
(From Right to Left: Katherine, Jessina, Krystal, and Me-Lindsay) I saw Krystal, Katherine, Jessina, Stephanie...and their families! I haven't seen any of them for at least 3-4 years. It was a beautiful day, and the food was heavenly. I'm glad I have such kind friends. Shaun enjoyed himself--even though he didn't really know them. He had a pleasant time speaking with everyone and appreciated every one's genuine kindness. (I wouldn't expect less from this sweet group.) Here's some pictures from the meet-up.
(Oh, and I will painfully include a picture of me from high school (2000-2001 somewhere I guess) and another from a group get together my during x-mas break from my Freshman year at college (2001)---which Katherine sent to me. Yikes! I am pleased though that I look better now than then...rather than the other way around. You won't hear any wishes to go back to my high school good looks from me!
Afterwards we saw Shaun's parents, brother, Kimi, and our nephews in Kirkland for a few hours. By the way, Happy Birthday Kimi and Richie!!!!
We also went to Baby's R Us and picked up some things we needed still for unborn Enoch. It was a n enjoyable and social weekend. Lots of good memories.

A Recipe for Sucess in the Weldon Home

Friday night Shaun grilled us up some steak and onion/mushroom saute...along with proscuitto wrapped asparagus! It was actually amazing! To make it even more fun, we watched the Office on our computer (Netflicks-Instant). For us--it was a satisfying evening in many ways.

Baby Shower Extravaganza

A Baby Shower...for me?! (How surreal!) Thursday evening was the special time! I was given a great baby shower--thanks to Teri Booth and Emily Pool...and the help they got from Alicia too. I was surprised to arrive and see a glider wrapped in ribbons all for me! The evening consisted of many friends and a few games, many generous gifts, and cupcakes! I didn't have time to lay everything I received out to take a picture...so, you can see some of the piles laying in our living room.
Thank you everyone for coming!
