Surprise Baby Shower at Work

It was so thoughtful of the staff at my office (UM Allergy/Immunology Clinic) to host a surprise baby shower for me and baby H.  It was 6 days before my due date, and I had a big presentation that AM, so had my mind on that and was oblivious to the preparations. I was totally surprised, and it was so sweet of everyone!!

What will he/she be....pink or blue????

German Park- August 25th

We enjoyed checking out German Park with Dave and Lauren Stewart last weekend. It is a monthly event the last saturday of each month in Ann Arbor in the summer.   Even though I couldn't partake in the German Beer, it still was a good time :)
