Jewel attended her second shower on January 21st at Marc and Sanja's house. What an amazing afternoon... Jewel is so loved already and she knows it... she told us on the way home, I think she might have been bragging!
She had tons of people show up to her shower and she was loved on and cuddled like crazy. Although Mammie (Jewel's Grandma Chris) was at the party, Jewel was able to do her rounds, cuddling and spiting-up on a few unsuspecting friends. Mammie tends to hog her little grandbaby, but she was very well behaved at the party (I let her burp Jewel and change a few diapers... nice of me, eh?) and allowed a baby pass around.
The party was amazing and we ate like kings and queens... thanks to the Poitras Gang and Michelle for all your time and food preparation, kudos to Johnny for the veggie platters! Jewel also ate like a Queen, just as the gift opening was to begin, she decided it was time to wake from her 3 hour slumber and eat, a girl who normally eats for 15 minutes max, ate for 35 min and then had a very messy diaper change (the kind where she waits until you have the clean diaper under her butt and then pees some more)! She must understand when we call her a princess! Prior to the gift opening our wonderful friends Lauren and Janine toasted precious baby Jewel, we laughed and shed a few tears, it was a very touching and humorous moment... we all realized Lauren is funny man! Jewel received many beautiful gifts including: books, shoes, clothes, cute duck socks, music CD's, a hand-made blankie and lots of loot (she is going shopping at Baby's World for a new running stoller... did I say "she", I meant "Daddy"). Thank you all so much!!!!
A big thank you to Michelle, who created this fantastic memory board for all the party guests to sign... what an amazing keepsake, it will go up in Jewel's room when I finally get around to painting it.
We love you all and are so thankful to have friends like you in our life. The Powers Trinity sends many thanks to all of you for you kindness, gifts and love!!! I must quote my bookstore mentor Linda Carlson when I say, "the best part of life is who you get to do it with"!
P.S. If anyone took pictures can you please send them to us at adrianlizpowers@shaw.ca, we forgot to take our camera out of the bag that night.
