THANK YOU!!!

Thank you so much for our baby shower!
On June 12, 2006, we had an awesome day with family and friends in the sunshine to celebrate this little baby. Many people were more excited to meet Don than anything and there were LOTS of babies there to hug and hold. We were treated with so many gifts and so much support...it sure makes a girl want to come home again.

I already miss you guys and I am counting the days till I can come home again. Only next time there will be a lot more luggage!!

Here are some candid shots of the day.
Pictured here: Aunt Veronica (and bunny bear), Mom, Aunt Lee (I think she is dreaming fond memories of her childhood with her sisters all around) and Aunt Margaret. Thats me in the background of course, with Baby "Kicks" apparently playing soccer in my belly).


We'd love to see some more if you folks took some and would like to share them with us. I'm finding that I barely had enough seconds in the day to say hello and thank you to everyone for coming that I missed out on taking photos. Please email them to me (ashiabadashia@gmail.com) if you've got any!




Don and Gabrielle, Geneseo reunion!, Uncle Bart, Aunt Joan and Lisa















And then there was cake (Gram made her homemade chocolate and vanilla versions, a family favorite. And Aunt Margaret was up till 3am making these: (Shawn, Chris, Travis and Ryan await cake...where is Tyler?)

We opened gifts for an eternity but here are three quick shots to capture the essence. Suzie, Jill and Kiara acted as maids of honor (its about time girls...I was at YOUR weddings and somehow the wedding on the mountain left little room for tafeta :) They were a huge help and kept track of everything for me. If you did not get a thank- you card from us, it is all their fault!


















And then there was a pool fight...we all know how that one ended...but that's another story.

More pics on the next page from the whole party.
Thank you all so much for coming and for your generosity!
