As you can see, it was a non-traditional, men-and-children-invited baby shower. Fortunately there was lots of beer so the kids weren't too much trouble.
I've no idea if baby showers are just an American thing or not. I certainly didn't hear of them until I got here. Basically everybody gives a first-time mother baby stuff. We got tonnes of stuff - much of which is genuinely useful. The rest is stuff that makes Heather and the other mothers go 'Aaaaaahh' a lot.
We're heading back to the valley early tomorrow with most of our new toys. Jim and Daniel are coming to visit in a week or so with whatever we couldn't fit in the car. A batch of new movies came out last Friday and with any luck, they'll push Harry Potter out of the listings so we can go see it with them in IMAX.
In other news, the job hunting is really picking up pace now, with on-site interviews and everything. That's a big deal 'cos everywhere is so far away here.
And finally, here's proof that mum will do anything for a bottle of bubbly (in case you needed it):

Looks like you all had a good time at the shower With lots of goodies to take home! You must have a lot of kind friends.
Don't know what you mean about me and champagne. Notice I didn't take the cork out and spray it all around, in fact we are going to Sarah's tonight for supper prior to our setting off for France so provided there won't be too many people to have to share it with I will take it there. Yes, to keep you posted we are off to France Thurs week.
Good luck with the job hunting.
Mum
