Portland Baby Shower

A couple weekends ago I was blessed with a very fun baby shower. Since I haven't been in Portland very long, I wasn't expecting such a wonderful gift. I'm so thankful for my new friends and the way they have welcomed me into their lives and friendships. The transition from DC to Portland has been so much easier because of their care and acceptance. I can't say enough to express my gratitude for their desire to throw us this shower.

Connie Austin took some pics and I wanted to post them. Sadly, I didn't get a picture with the hosts, Amy Lacey, Sharon Macklin and Carolyn Kaleel-- thanks for your planning and support. To all the friends and family that came to the shower (some driving from Seattle and Bend)-- thanks so much, we are very grateful for you love.

Aunt Fran and Jeannie made this quilt for Baby Austin- some of the fabrics are portions of Grandpa Austins shirts and Grandma Austins aprons.
