Baby shower musings


So, tomorrow a friend and I are hosting a baby shower for our good friend Nanci's grandson, Harper Ray. I am thrilled to be doing this, but I have to wonder.... Back in the day, a baby shower was to help a couple accumulate all of the "stuff" for the new addition to the family. Now days, young couples have it all. A lot of young families don't have cars big enough to haul around all of the required supplies for the newest addition. So, it actually is not a shower, in the sense of the traditional, but a party of the grandest sort. Friends and family gathering together to celebrate the continuation of that particular gene pool. Of course since it is a party, we have to bring gifts...for the baby....I wonder when Jenny and Eric will buy a bigger car!

That isn't Harper (I know that). It wasn't a mistake, I was feeling goofy and wondered if anyone would notice and comment!
