thankful#81: a successful baby shower for christina!

really, it's a good thing that her expectations weren't too high. abbey, melissa, and i had a lot of fun planning the little shin-dig for christina, but we probably should have done a little more -- like gotten together to make sure that everything actually went together (luckily, it ended up looking just fine), or actually gone in to the room to see what we would be working with, or showed up more than 30 minutes before the party started to get things set up. but i think it turned out well nonetheless. and there was a fantastic showing of support. christina's mom was there along with her mother-in-law and her grandmother-in-law who both drove over from bend that morning. she also had a friend drive over from bend and one from portland along with a good number of her eugene friends. it was such a testament to the type of person that she is. she has been so wonderful to our family and i am so thankful that they have come into our lives. isaac is one lucky little man to get to enter into this world with a mother like her, a father like chris, and a big sister like taya.
