Surprise!!!

So, as I was writing the earlier post, guess what the crew that I work with was doing??  Gathering to throw a surprise "baby shower" for me!!  Seriously!  I just got back from what I thought was a nice little lunch with a couple of friends that turned out to be a party with tons of yummy food, hugs and stories with fellow teachers,  and lots of sweet gifts to welcome our boy home.  You gals (and guys) are the best!  I imagine that Vitaly is feeling the love from here even now :)

AANNNDDDD... my hubby (who knew about the surprise) cleaned the bathroom while I was gone!  Doesn't get much better here!!!!
