Oh Baby, More News

Yes, there's more baby news to share and, this time, it's on Grenville's side of the family. His cousin, and husband are having a baby boy through a surrogate, early next year.
Over the weekend, the dads-to-be were treated to a baby shower at the home of another family member in CT where relatives and friends gathered.
Both sets of grandparents-to-be were there as well to help their sons celebrate impending fatherhood. There was no name "reveal" at this event as the future dads are keeping it a secret.

There were many family and friends who also came from several neighboring New England states to share in the celebration.
While I'm not familiar with most games at baby showers, they are fun and this event included several including angry baby, bad dad jokes and diapering blindfolded.
Everyone knows that a party wouldn't be complete without dessert. This one included lots of sweet treats — homemade cupcakes, ice cream cake and chocolate almond cake.
After dessert, it was gift opening time. There were a lot of books and handmade items, including a unique diaper cake. W
e went bear hunting at the Vermont Teddy Bear Company; our gift was unique in that there were no other teddy bear gifts. 

Even before the holiday season, our family has had much to celebrate with the October births of two great nieces and this future 2020 arrival. We are thankful to have shared in this joyous family event and wish the future dad much happiness.

Congrats from me, too. I always found it difficult getting hubby to pose for the camera But he did give in during his later years. Cameras play a big part in the history of our children as well as our beloved menfolk.
