On Saturday, March 10, our good friends Mike and Eryn Branch, and their two little girls, Hannah and Caroline, hosted a "boys welcome :: no silly games (besides horseshoes)" baby shower for Monica and me at their lovely place--known as Piedmont--north of Reno. Many good friends and even some relatives descended on the Piedmont hilltop to eat, drink, talk, and celebrate the impending arrival of the one we're 90% sure is a boy. Cousins, an aunt and uncle, and cousins-once-removed came in from Fallon and Carson City. Brad and Vicki were able to make it over the hill from Grass Valley; friends Meg and Paul and their little Ethan came down from Truckee; and quite a few L & E and NMA friends were able to swing by: Michael and Valerie; Rachel, Pete, Gracie and Sugar Ray; Liz; Shelly; Jim; Steven and Brianne; Kyhl and Marian; Dave, Inger, Seth, and Allar; Bob and Vicki; Rebecca; and others, whom I'm forgetting at the moment. The party was great fun, helped in no small part by Eryn's having successfully brokered a deal with the weather man for the day, as well as her stuffed mushrooms...mmmm mm. Here are some pictures of the day.
