Welcome Baby Party

Yesterday more than 30 people dropped by for an open house party and a chance to welcome Beatrice to the planet. People brought gifts, flowers, balloons - and their own babies - to celebrate. Beatrice was passed from person to person for seven hours (!) and held up beautifully without any fussing or complaining. And when the last person left, she went smoothly and gratefully to sleep.

All in all a very nice day, though I am sorry it was too hot to sit outside. But by the time the last guests left around 7pm, Dev and I were able to go outside by ourselves and enjoy the backyard decor while eating our dinner from In n' Out.

Check out some photos from the party - there are lots more on Facebook.
