Echo of Joy

More baby fun

Tuesday, August 9, 2011

We had a baby shower last weekend to welcome little Annika Claire to the world. It also served to welcome her mom, Rachel, back to campus, as she's been "up north" for the last year.


Here's Stephanie with the guest of honor.




And the amazing gourmet cupcakes made by the very same Stephanie. We all thought they were from a bakery because they were so beautiful. The diaper cake was Naomi's creation, and it looked just as good.




The rest of the food and decor was a group effort, with particular props to Naomi and Kristina. This was quite the collaboration, with most of the ladies in attendance contributing something to the festivities (other than a joyful presence).




It was a delight to have so many of the girls* back together again, as it had been quite a while since the ladies who had scattered for internship had managed to get together. This photo was taken by Rachel, the master of self-timed photos!




* Note to Lane: We missed you! :-)
