This past weekend Jon and I headed to KC to celebrate James, Cait and our first niece, Baby Njogu!! We cannot wait to meet her and know she is going to be a very special, beautiful and loved little girl!! We first stopped off in McPherson where we stayed Friday night with Grandma Sharon and Grandpa Brett. It was a great surprise to find them home because thought they'd already headed to KC for the weekend! It was great to catch up and just relax - plus I indulged with some homemade chicken noodle soup, compliments of Grandma! Saturday morning, they headed out early to spend some time with Jason, while Jon and I took our time and headed to Newton mid-morning. We'd hoped to stop by a baby boutique there that I'd found online. However, what we found in the storefront was a cool new bookstore that had recently taken over the space! While bummed that we'd gone out of our way to stop by there in hopes of getting a cloth diaper 101 session, we had a great time checking out some of the shops on the street! We even found a very cute baby consignment shop that sold gently used items along with super cute and cool baby gear made by moms in the area! We loved that we were able to find some great steals and cute gear for Baby Njogu there instead of a mega store in KC!
After Newton, we made our way to KC. We had a few hours to spare so Jon met a fellow birder at a beautiful park right in Overland Park close to where the shower would be! Grace and I had a very peaceful couple hours reading in the woods while Jon did his thing! It couldn't have worked out much better!
Finally it was time to meet up with the fam and head to the shower! Cait and James had a beautiful shower hosted by some friends of theirs at the Matt Ross Community Center! What a great location! As you can see by the pics on the album page, it was a great environment, relaxing andspacious! They had amazing food to snack on along with some drinks that Jon thoroughly enjoyed :) It was so fun to see so many of the people that love Cait and James and will no doubt be a big part of their baby's life! Everybody also had a great time making onsies for the baby and it was cool to see the various designs and creativity. Jon's and mine was the best of course!! Check it out :)
We sure hope they had as much fun as we did and that they felt loved and blessed throughout the evening! We cannot wait to meet that precious little girl in just a few weeks!!!
