In preparation of the shower, I first sewed them a baby blanket and incorporated their beloved Winnie the Pooh. It was super soft and turned out pretty adorable! Here's a shot of the front (and just TRY to figure out my color scheme...first time I tried to incorporate FOUR separate colors AND a patterned material):
The back was a neat-0 green polka-dot that further incorporated all of the colors of the Pooh fabric:
And a close-up:
I thought it turned out pretty well and I hope Dan and Mary Beth liked it too!I took a bunch of photos from the shower for Baby Luke (which yes, will be his name), so I thought I'd post 'em up here. I have to say, ALL of their friends and family were terrific and ALL of them were so nice!!!
We'll start with our guests of honor (yes, I made everyone pose with the silly sign - I'm compiling a little "memory book" for Dan and Mary Beth with all of these pics and some "advice" from each guest):
A few shots of the crowd:
Matt - Mr. BBQ:
Carter, who pretty much spent the entire time running around the back yard, taking a short break for a snack:
Carter - golfing (hey, the putting green came with the house, ok...):
My co-hostess, and very, very good friend, Holly (in yellow), serving up perhaps THE tastiest cupcakes I've ever had (from a local bakery - The Grove):
Holly also made the adorable party favors - the "pacifiers" - completely edible!
Gift time! 
Dan - Completely unsure about this whole "diaper thing"...
And finally, shots of the guests (for the memory book) - Mary Beth's parents:
Dan's sister's family:
Mary Beth and Heidi (who is one of my co-workers):
The Greenies - hey, we tried...
Amanda (our neighbor - who was also one of Dan and Mary Beth's nurses) and her son Jake:
Mary Beth's brother's family:
And Holly and Bevin:
It was a wonderful, wonderful shower and I CANNOT wait to meet Baby Luke!! Watch the blog for an update once Luke arrives in this world! Congratulations again to Dan and Mary Beth!~kerrie
