Baby Girl Jones

This last weekend was time to spend with family and celebrate the coming arrival of our first grandchild, a girl, with a family baby shower.  Our daughter organized the shower with assistance from her two Aunts.  It was nicely done and appreciated.  After a meal of BBQ pulled pork, coleslaw, watermelon, and chips we enjoyed a delicious cake that was also very cute!!!

My son and daughter-in-law then opened the thoughtful gifts.  This beautiful quilt by one Aunt will be a cheerful addition to the baby's crib. 

My niece had a creative idea for a gift:  a diaper baby!!

This clothesline/gift was a cute decorating touch by my sister. 

The tables were decorated so cute by my sister-in-law with little cutouts and baby teething items. Each guest had little bags with packaged mints labeled "Baby girl".  

Thanks to all that came and shared this time with us.  A huge thank you to my daughter, sister and sister-in-law for making this such a nice shower for my son and daughter-in-law.  Thank you!!!

So now we are back in Iowa waiting for October and a call saying the little girl has arrived.  Meanwhile, we are keeping busy with the construction of our new home.  

The interior walls on both floors are now up, windows are in and doors should be coming this week.  The garage doors should go up soon and the siding should be installed.  After that I'm assuming they will start the plumbing and wiring.   So many decisions ahead!!!  Fun times!!!
