Neither Here Nor There: Houston Baby Shower

November 15, 2014

My good friends who I met in Australia, Kim and Lori, and my sister-in-law, Renee, worked together to plan another beautiful baby shower for Baby H and I- but this time in Houston. They chose a Fall theme with lots of "lil' pumpkin" references, and it turned out so cute! They did such a wonderful job. This baby shower brought together a pretty eclectic group of family, former co-workers, new co-workers, and friends from Australia. It was so fun to have everyone all in one place. I feel lucky to have met such great support networks here in Houston who all love and support Baby H so much already!

Take a look at some of the great decorations, food, and activities they organized!

And here are my lovely hostesses!

I received the most beautiful quilt put together by the group of girls I befriended in Australia. We are all spread across the world now, and somehow they managed to organize this quilt while in Australia, Indonesia, Canada, and the US. This was SUCH a special gift! On the back it says, "Assembled with love from around the world by your mum's mates."
