Showered!

What a great weekend we had. Baby girl is getting BIG and that bit about wiggling and stretching on her profile-- it's no joke! It was such a treat to see Matt and Katy in their new home. They were such great hosts and I felt like I was the one being showered! Baby girl got lots of fun presents-- thank you to everyone who loves her so much already. We're all pretty exhausted, so I'll have to post lots more pictures tomorrow. Here are a few to get you started.Thanks for "coming;" it was a really special weekend for all of us.
Much love,
Aunt Kristen

So many presents!

We found a cute bistro in Dupont Circle and stayed for hours! Yummy brunches/lunches, present-time, and dessert later. It was the perfect shower: no dishes to wash, and nothing to set up!

A sweet little outfit for Baby 

Katy and Tafanie 

First Lady

Katy and Kristen went to the American History Museum while Matt looked for a parking spot. They saw two exhibits before he just gave up driving and picked everyone up on the corner. These are the past First Ladies dresses on display. Katy wants to borrow one.

Shower deets

When: March 25, 2006
Where: wherever you are, or Lexington Park, Maryland
What's the deal?
-Since the people we love are so spread out, we're having an absentee shower. Come if you're brave enough to make the trek, but you can just attend in spirit. We'll post tons of pictures after the big day so that you feel like you were there.
Evite: http://www.evite.com/pages/invite/viewInvite.jsp?event=CBMOAZIUPAEYULXVSUGY Email me if you need to log into see it. And send it around to ... whomever!

Registry info

So every stylin' girl needs her equipment: onesies, chew toys, pacifiers, blankets... you get the idea. If you would like to check out her wish lists, please do so here.

Babies 'r' us: www.babiesrus.com.
Walmart: www.walmart.com.

Both are under Matt and Katy Brown, in Lexington Park, MD. There's a rumor that if you order over the phone from Babies 'r' Us, you'll get free shipping. To be confirmed at a later date.

Baby's first blog

Albums? Antiquated. Journals? Who has time? For Matt and Katy's firstborn, we want something with staying power. Enter blog! This will be Baby Girl's blog to keep, but for now, it will have baby registry deets, info about her shower in absentia, and pictures here and there.-Your loving "aunt" Kristen
