A shower in May

April showers bring May flowers. We've heard it since our childhood. Today I want to talk about a shower in May. Not a rain shower, but a baby shower!

In a few weeks we will hosting a baby shower at our house. This is not not your traditional baby shower. It's more like a family and friends party. Men, women and children will attend. There will be no silly party games, we'll serve more than finger sandwiches and fruit punch with rainbow sherbet and it will also serve as a Mothers Day celebration. Because the baby is due on the good ol' 4th of July, we're also going to have an early Independence Day celebration. What a day it will be! Baby shower, Mothers Day and Independence Day all rolled into one!

Tami and I love hosting parties. Especially when the weather is warm and we can lounge on the deck and under the gazebo. The good thing is it forces me to spruce up the yard, deck and pool area. The bad thing is it's a lot of work in a short period of time. I usually like to do all the outside work gradually, but this big soiree' demands it. Oh well, at least when the party is over the backyard paradise will be ready for Memorial Day and subsequently, summer.

Can't wait for our little 'Firecracker' Baby to get here :-)
