Feel the love!

Our incredible friends and family came together to shower our little baby with so much love this weekend. We are intensely grateful for all the support, and we cannot wait for her to meet her incredibly large blood-related and extended family.





Our fabulous hosts: Ryan (w/ RJ), Janna, Mark, Jessica (w/ Cole), Josh,
Melissa (w/ Kellen), Shelly, Ashley, Melissa, and Erin (w/ Quinn).


These guys left no detail overlooked!!!





Beautiful flowers









The food was fantastic-- a "tapas" theme!








An fantastic array of drink selections








Adorable placecards for the food




Block Cakes by Martha Stewart, er, Erin-- WOW!






Baker Erin with proof she made those cakes!!






Guests took turns writing cute messages to us on diapers for the babe.




I wish I had pictures of everyone who attended to put up here, but here are a few of my family!






Neal and my mom






See no evil, hear no evil? Our nieces: Renae and Natalie



Nephew Alex and Tia Beatriz, in from Houston, despite Hurricane Ike's best efforts to keep her away!






My dad, enjoying a brewski!






Me and my brother Vic, in from Fort Worth




Neal with our sisters in law, Monica and Amy, and Vic


Other brother Luis, Tio Jorge and Vic




Neal and me, happily overwhelmed by all the generosity





Can you see all the goodies this baby got?!?



Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you, again. We love you all!
