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!
XOOX

Jill came to visit!
We need to get her pictures from her cuz i know i didnt take any!
But we had a few fun adventures
to the Melting Pot and aTartine and Central Park.

But the highlight was our day at Bay to Breakers.
Jill felt like she really got a taste of San Francisco with all the "Bare
to Breakers" and the booze. Only in SF, she said: Its like this race came along
and of course it turned into an excuse for a costume party and beer bash!

But my favorite part is the baby's new nickname
Kicks.

and true true it is!

Jill, we miss you. Send us some pics!
XOXO

Visitors!

So, Bill (grandpa) was here for a visit. and i do believe the highlight for him was getting to help Don put together the baby's crib! Here are a couple of pics of the men in action.
Yes...don is not having an easy go of it, but his red head is not about stress, its about the
golf outing the day before!!
Their favorite part was the drawer under the crib....yes the directions were wrong
but they made it work!
I, myself put together the mobile.
We are not keeping the bears, but i put them up for the pic.
And the bumper set has since been washed, ironed and tied on correctly
but here is a pic for the gist.

Grandpa Bill comes to visit!

The boys caught a great game of golf. Bill won and he had the best stroke of the day, slamming one all the way to the hole for nearly a hole in one! The pic shows how close the ball was to the hole... It took Don only 8 strokes to get that one in :)
