this ain't your momma's baby shower

(one of shannon's favorite colors is orange...such a cool mom-to-be)

this past weekend we celebrated the upcoming arrival of our friend shannon's new baby girl jane, and shannon was every bit the glowing mom-to-be. she's not really a "games" kind of girl, so we forewent the traditional baby shower games for something a little more up shan's alley since she has such a wickedly sharp sense of humor. our oh so talented friend kathryn found some vintage (and random) baby images on the interweb, printed them out on postcards and asked guests to write captions as well as words of advice for the new mom. rather than taking the cards with her, we're going to mail the cards to shannon over the coming weeks so that she'll remember the fun that we had at the baby shower.

("hey mom, can you come get me?")
