In late March, Anthony's Mom and Grandmother came for a visit. It was Nana's first visit to Arizona! When we knew that they were coming we decided to have our baby shower that weekend so that they would be able to be here to be a part of it. My Mom was able to come out for the shower, too and it was very special to have them here!
My dear friends Jeanine and Cammy hosted the shower and it was beautiful and fun. It was also a good chance to see and catch-up with friends. And we received some beautiful and fun gifts for the baby. His nursery has an elephant theme and we got lots of cute elephant and Africa things. We also got some fun airplane / pilot stuff, too! The nursery is getting close to being ready for him, just need to get a few more basic things and we should be set. It's been a lot of fun getting it ready for him! I'm finally getting to the point of actually imagining him in the crib. We put together his swing the other day and I could really picture him in there! Anthony likes to pretend like he's picking him up out of the crib in the morning!
Anthony also took his Mom and Nana up north to Flagstaff, Sedona and the Grand Canyon. Nana really enjoyed it and she and Carla took the plane ride over the Canyon. Arizona really is a beautiful place. They also were able to get into our pool at our house in Scottsdale (it was snowing in Maine!). The pool temperature is hovering around 72 degrees. It's still way too cold for me though. It was great to have them here and Nana (who is 89) told Carla that on her next trip to Arizona she wants to go to Vegas, too! The baby has some good strong genes in his gene pool!
