oh baby!

Last week we snuck away for a quick visit to Idaho. Some close friends of mine are welcoming lil' people into their lives. I wanted to surprise Andrea at her baby shower for her 1st baby. It worked! She had no idea & was thrilled to see my face at the door.
 Lil' Koenig is one lucky duck, mom is an excellent baker & dad is an amazing chef. Who wouldn't want to live in that house?
 A couple more weeks until Andrea is holding a sweet smelling newborn, can you see her necklace? Ooh, I am just so excited for her!
 Then there is my sassy friend Marcela. I call her Mafia because if you cross her, she will cut you. I found a diva to call friend & now she has a little diva of her own. Meet Paloma Evangeline, the pics just do not do her justice. In fact, I was so elated to meet this little lady, my camera was bouncing all over the place. I have the honor of being Fairy Godmother to Paloma- isn't that just the best? As close to a daughter as I think I'll get.
 Girlfriend has mad style & likes to shop already!
 She even cruised through dinner with good friends, Fawn & Marcela, at my beloved Brick29 Bistro.

My girl time tank needed a filling, February in Seattle can really rub the sparkle out of a girl. This trip reminded me that, even though we celebrate boy a lot at our house, this girl is loved.

  1. First of all, you look gorg, as usual.

    Secondly, "Evangeline" is my favorite baby name right now! I haven't heard anyone use it yet. You know, in case we need it for our pretend 4th daughter in the future.... LOVE it.

  2. You came at just the right time when we needed a little sparkle to bust open and shake us up.

  3. Thank you, Ladies! Image, all the time I was needing Idaho, it may have been needing me!

    And Jayna, I think I may need to name some pretend children of my own, good idea :)

  4. It was the best surprise ever to see you. I feel completely lucky to have you as a friend! Baby Koenig is lucky too. It will soon learn that us baking together is a wonderful thing!
