Oh Baby

I hope everyone had a wonderful, family-filled, relaxing holiday!! This year I was lucky enough to have my family out here on west coast with me. It was so special to wake up Thanksgiving morning to the smells of my mother's cooking wafting up the stairs and the sounds of my family laughing and talking in the kitchen. There is nothing like being surrounded by those you adore, are inspired by and admire.

I definitely feel that way about each member of my family. And, as I have the opportunity to get to know more and more of you (through your blogs and correspondence), I definitely feel that way about each of you as well. Thank you so much for coming on this adventure with me! I feel so lucky that each of you has joined me. And I hope you don't think that my lack of posting lately is any kind of waning in my interest in bringing you all kinds fun-filled party tidbits and inspiration. But I had a to take a little break to....

....well...

...uh...

....TA-DA!!!

You know... run off and finally have that baby I've been babbling about for a while now.

He showed up at 9:21am on Saturday and is, of course, already ruling the roost! 

I hope you will bear with me as I slowly get back in action. (First order of business... checking out of the hospital tomorrow.) 

I'm so excited for this holiday season!! There are so many wonderful party ideas out there. I do hope that I'm not too sleep deprived to throw one!
