This afternoon, my girls and I drove out to Beavercreek for Krystal’s baby shower. Krystal is the daughter of Brenda — my best friend from high school, my roommate at a couple different points in time, and the “auntie” of my daughters. When Krystal & my eldest daughter were very small, Krystal called me “Auntie Mommy” and Angst (Andrea) called Brenda “Auntie Mommy.” Since Krystal let everyone know she’s having a girl, there was a lot of pink at the shower! She’s naming the baby Athena, which is a name I really like but I hope the baby can live up to it.

Lots of pictures were taken…

Here’s Brenda and me, friends for 23 years…

Here’s Krystal — I can hardly believe that the tiny baby I held 20 years ago, and helped potty train, and saw her off to her first day of school, is going to be a mother within a month…

Here’s a pic of my girls feeling the baby kick & move around — neither of them recall feeling an unborn baby moving inside its mom, so check out the looks on their faces! It’s priceless!

Lots more pics, including the pressies I crocheted for Krystal & Athena, are in a new gallery.
