Greetings familia & friends, close and far away!
Well the news is out, and yes it's true, I got 'spiritually' married to an amazing person PJ Lally in January and we are expecting our 1st baby in November! Holy moly batman - things happen fast, and we are super excited to meet her and would love to celebrate her welcoming with you all! It's a great story that I hope to share with you in person...
Anyway, a few girlfriends & I are planning a baby shower for Sat Oct 8, or alternative date Oct 1, and I was just wanting to let you know in case you might be inspired to come. If one day is better than another, please also let me know so I can confirm the date ASAP.
My friend Lisa was generous to extend her beautiful home in Novato, CA which is fairly close to SF. We'll provide the main food and guests are welcome to bring potluck appetizers, side dishes, non-alcoholic drinks, or special foods if they are on a restricted diet. For those who haven't met my husband PJ, he will Skype in to say hi from Minnesota (he's incredibly busy finishing his last year of med school and trying to get to California before the baby comes!)
But, we'll have arts & crafts to make prayer flags, kites, or a big community canvas for the artistically inspired, maybe some musical offerings for the vocally inclined, some silly pregnant mama games, but mostly it will be a coming together to visit and share a nice time in a circle of other women as we welcome the coming arrival of baby Edes. Gifts are welcome, but please, please, please don't feel obligated. Just seeing your lovely faces are a great gift in and of itself!
I'll send out the 'official' e-vite within the next couple of weeks, but just wanted to give a heads up. Some of you I know can't make it, so no worries.
Trying to make this is as stress free for everyone as possible! I'm sure I missed a few moms, cousins, female friends in this email because I didn't have their contact info, so if you think of anyone, please pass it on.
But let me know if want to try to come, and if you need help in finding a place, etc... and if you want bring a guest or children.
We'd love to see you!
LOL,
Lara
