Brown Family Blog: Jackie's Surprise Baby Shower

Each year a few family members make the annual trip to visit Jim, Jackie and my 7 nephews. This year, with numbers 8 and 9 on the way, and one of them a GIRL, we wanted to give Jackie a surprise "babies" shower!

The Happy ( very busy) Couple

Lou and I, and mom and Linda brought lots of girl and boy gifts and clothes, and a cake. Max, Vince, and Molly secretly blew up pink and blue balloons in the basement.

Max and Molly were home from College, so they were able to join in the fun as well. It is amazing to see Max is now taller than Dad!

Vince Playing one of His Many Guitars

We had such a great time watching each boy play piano. Vince has become quite a guitarist and can play Jazz, Blues, Blue Grass... anything. He also has taken up the mandolin and is proficient on the piano.

One of the highlights was listening to one of Jim's Direct TV music stations while watching the living room strobe light flash- and dancing as we tried to keep balloons in the air.

Of course, it is always a joy to watch the little ones play with their toys or blankets, or whatever is at hand.

We are very excited to see the two new bundles that are coming later this summer.
