Domestic Bliss: Baby Shower

Last Sunday, May 28th, Julie G. and I hosted a baby shower for Melissa and Elliott at their lake house. Melissa and Elliott have been working very hard to get the house ready for Baby and for the shower. Elliott is quite the carpenter and handy man though he intensley dislikes his carpenter duties. Regretfully I do not have pictures of the baby's nursery, but the room is complete with custom-built shelves compliments of Daddy Elliott! The nursery is so adorable! Everything turned out great for the shower too. We had a nice turnout and the parents-to-be received lots of adorable and useful gear for baby. Everyone enjoyed themselves, including the hostesses. Those who remember what the lake house used to look like thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the hard work that Melissa and Elliott have done to make the lake house their home. So Melissa now has just 6 weeks to go--that is if she makes it that long. We are hedging bets as to how much longer it will be until "Delivery" day. I'm betting she's got 4 more weeks at least. That way she can attend our annual Folly Beach week coming up June 18-22. One thing's for sure: Thanks to all of their friends and family, Melissa and Elliott are now prepared for baby's arrival.
