Showers and Nesting...

What an awesome weekend we had in Dallas! The Tinker sisters threw a shower that was charming, fun and a total blessing. Kathryn opened her house, and we had cheeses, truffles, a trifle, chocolate dipped strawberries, bananas, and coconut muffins and a wonderful mimosa punch. It was delightful all around with a fun game that allowed many of Mom Tinker's lifetime friends to share words of wisdom and funny tales of motherhood. My Nannie and mother made the trip in from Houston to share in the joy.

It was a very blessed weekend all around. After the shower, we went to dinner at Mexico Lindo to celebrate Dad Tinker's birthday and then Sunday morning we had a great breakfast at Cindi's to say good bye to Kumiko and Taro. They will move to Japan on June 30th. Jonathan and I stayed until about 2:30 at Kathryn's house and then she and the kids took us to the airport to head back to San Antonio.

All in all, the baby will have been on 18 plan rides before he makes his debut....and we already have his first trip planned to Providence/Cambridge/Boston for the end of September!

Since returning home on Sunday evening, we have been nesting around the house - getting all the clothes hung and the swing, stroller and other toys put together and ready for baby boy Tinker's arrival! We have a doctor's appointment tomorrow...pray for continued good news.
