The Shower!

NJ & Kathy Baby Shower Announcement!

NJ (Matt) and Kathy are having a baby!  She** is due to be born on 14 November, 2012.  Of course She may have a mind of her own.  Regardless we want to celebrate her coming and help out N&J and Kathy. So we're holding a hybrid baby shower - both "virtual" and live at NJ and Kathy's house!

Where?  At their home in Dayton Ohio, via Google hangout (dhjppn@gmail.com ) and through this blog.

When?  Saturday 30 September, 2012 3:00 - 5:00 pm Eastern 

How?  Via Google Plus we will have a "hang out" , via the blog or in person.
( some ideas can be found here )

What else? Kathy and NJ have setup a baby registry at Baby's R Us

Any gifts should be sent to directly to NJ & Kathy's (see below).  If you have a better idea of something that worked well for you feel free to do that instead.  Perhaps a gift is out of your means - that's ok - please join us or send a card or something.  The goal here is to let them know we love them!

Baby Names ....

So we're pretty sure it's a girl ...  J & E seem to be stuck when it comes to names ... Any ideas of names?

What's your favorite girl name? 
What kind of nicknames do you think it will inspire?
What's your least favorite name?  ( especially of the current favs ) 

Post your responses!! 

promise we won't laugh ( much :D )

Digging up the 'ole photo albums

In the spirit of a baby shower, I thought that everyone who did not know Elize in her younger years might be fascinated to see her as a baby. (And an apparent love for eating cake.)

Still love ya after all these years, Leez! :)
