And its my sister-n-law Gretchen and brother-n-law Mike. We are so excited for them. Gretchen has been on bedrest since early December. She is to always be on the couch on her side and she can only get up for bathrooms breaks. She was so excited for her shower to see people. I was able to get just a couple shots of Gretchen on her bathroom break at her baby shower and I look forward to getting some more when we go to visit. She looked beautiful and had that prenancy glow.

Gretchen has been busy on bedrest and has published her first book with fabulous recipes that you can make and freeze. You just take them out of the freezer in the morning and by dinner time you can pop in the oven and have a wonderful meal all ready (minus those extra dishes). Check out her blog at www.savorysecrets.blogspot.com

Here are some photos from her baby shower. It was so much fun spending time with Mike and Gretchen. My daughter Gianna was there and it was her first baby shower. She was so happy to help Uncle Mike open all the presents. She will make a great baby sitter in the future.
