Swanson Baby Shower

Another wonderful gathering of the Swanson women! We enjoyed a delicious brunch and they decorated with little blocks, like the cookies above. So cute! Each person gave us their favorite children's book. We can't wait for Poppy to arrive so we can start reading each of these fabulous books! Millie knit the most beautiful blanket for Poppy! It was such a great morning to spend time with these special ladies in my life! -Monica

Christmas 2008

We had a great 2 week Christmas vacation! We spent 2 days in Monticello, 2 days in Charlotte and 10 days in NY. Joe got to see some snow while we were there, but we're still hoping he'll catch a major winter storm some year! He's dying to use a snowblower....good ol' Southern boy:) -Monica
