Baby Shower

Today was a beautiful day for a party. We had a great time at A la Maison Bistro and carried on the party back at our house. A big thank you to our family and friends for this day and for their generous gifts for BabyB.




The hand-painted caramel bee favors came from John & Kira’s Artisian Chocolates (made in Philadelphia!)


Sarah’s homemade croquembouche!



















A Nursery at the Butz House!

Jonathan’s old office has finally made the transition from baby storage room to nursery with the addition of our new crib.

(We spend most of our time together snickering like teenagers… must have something to do with the pregnancy hormones I’m high on/ giving off these days.)

We unwrapped the sailboat mobile Sarah picked out months ago…


Okay, so don’t think we’re going overboard (hah!) on this boat theme… we just really liked the rich red colors and fun textures of this tugboat bedding.
Tortoise and Bertie Bear look right at home, don’t they?

March is…dynamic

The thunderstorm was no surprise, but as the burst of rain froze and grew to moth-ball sized hail, the neighborhood turned out to watch from their porches. The car survived.
