Baby Brunch----Kate Gogela's Shower

Maddy, Andrea and Lydia did it all!

This weekend, Kate and Steve were home for a wedding and Andrea, Maddy and Lydia hosted a baby shower brunch today at Andrea's. It's so stunning to have a party in Greg's "Architectural Digest"  beautiful rooms and then having a baby shower brunch with her friends and our family was really delightful, special and fun.  

Kate Goodby's sitter cancelled and I don't think she thought it was easy to keep Rylan from touching ANYTHING…but Rylan was a very good guy!  

Adorable bath toys on little waterways-adorable Lydia overseeing it :D

Always ready 

Jenny and Kate are the diaper centerpiece ladies! The invitation is in front

Elegant-the brunch was catered by Patricia's and it was fabulous

Grandmas in waiting

Friends (3 pediatricians!)
Not only was my auto flash off in prior blurry pics, I distracted the group from looking at Pat Germer  spooling both our shots! Sorry!

Hands down favorite pj's--all Eric Carle -nicely done Andrea, Lydia and Maddy ! 

Kathy gave a bounty of registry items that were still needed--and also this precious yellow hat and booties from  a handcrafted boutique. Kate said she can see "Hank" being photographed in it-and added that they want Kathy to be their official photographer- she is great!

Pediatrician friend gave her a medicine/sick kit--I took pics to duplicate it. Did you know athletes foot cream treats a yeast diaper rash?

Cousins--Maddy has you covered with this (joke) gift--a delightful 6 volume polka party for the baby--rumor has it, it may show up in the cousin's Gift Exchange. Note, they are having so much fun, the party is a blur!

More good stuff

Developed a fever and time to go--of course he had to also grab a blue "marble" from the tables and he is trying to show me

It was really good to see Kate and I did not get a great shot of her tummy, but she looks and feels wonderful.

We all wait to hear from them in late October regarding "Hank's arrival. And yes, this has been the fetus' nickname and it has become a favorite. Likely  Henry with the nickname of Hank. I love it!
