Oden Adventures

The last weekend of June, my Aunt Pat & cousin Sarah hostessed a baby shower for us in honor of Baby O.'s imminent arrival.  It was a lovely time with dear family & friends and we felt very blessed by the creativity & generosity that was evident in every detail and so many wonderful gifts that have helped us feel so much more ready for O's arrival!

As V is to ladybugs, we've decided O will be to sailboats - hence the nautical theme of the shower.  Aunt Pat & Sarah came up with so many cute ideas along this line!

I mean, really?  A diaper boat?  Does it get cuter than that?
