Another shower for BumBum!

Sunday in Chicago, our families got together to for lots of yummy food (lots - we are Italian), the Bears game, and more presents for BumBum! Thanks to Aunt Theresa & Uncle Bob for hosting and thanks to Aunt Di, Maggi, Laura and everyone else who helped. And thank you to Clark (the official photographer) for all the pictures! One more thank you - to everyone who came (from near & far) to celebrate and visit with us. It was an awesome day and we loved being able to spend time with everyone!

Tina & Katie - the serious Bears fans:



All the D family cousins (and families), minus Danny - we missed you Bud! Do you see the spot we saved for you?



Uncle Bob & his granddaughter Makayla (love her sucking her middle 2 fingers!):



Aunt Joanie, me & Maggi:



Blaise, Maggi, Aunt Theresa & Great Aunt Pauline:



The Bears game went into OT, so the present opening was mostly a women's affair (at least until the game finally ended). Here is GrandMar (my mom, a.k.a. "baby hog") trying to keep Mt. Blaise from erupting all over his cousin's gifts:



Brain, Kate, Pat, Denis, & Susan as I show off an adorable pair of pants for BumBum - check out the paw print on the rear!



And then the goodbyes (and obligatory family shots) started . . . that was not fun! It will be awhile before we see everyone again.

Maggi, Uncle Brian, Laura & Blaise, Molly & Aunt Di (busted!):



The D Family (Danny, we saved a spot for you again!):



The McC family. Any guess what Susie is thinking during this picture??



After the picture came Grandma McC's prophetic message: Baby O is a girl and BumBum is a boy. We will see! Only 5 weeks (Baby O) and 11 weeks (BumBum), give or take, until we find out!
