Julie & Sarah's Baby Shower

 

On Saturday, July 27, 2013, we had a combined baby shower for cousins Julie Rogers Burningham and Sarah DuPaix Southwick.  (Becca, Sarah, Julie, and Kathryn)  Julie is expecting a boy and Sarah is expecting a girl. 

 The shower was held at Kristilyn's rennovated 100 year old home.  Keith and Mark laid the sod on Tuesday night. 

 Julie's special friends came to wish her well:  Courtney, Marilee, Julie, and Sarah

 Most of the the DuPaix women:  Maddy holding her little sister Kennedy, Monica, Debbie, Sarah, Lily in front, Jeannie, Meri, and Becca. 

 Cousins who were expecting babies at the shower:  Becca in March, Melody in January (twins!), Heather Keetch at Thanksgiving, Sarah in September, Julie in August, and Tiffany three days before Julie.
This means that all of the married Rasband grandchildren will have children of their own to nurture.  In this picture there are two Rogers granddaughters, two Keetch granddaughters, and two DuPaix granddaughters.  George is expecting his first great-grandchild in September.  Paige, Rebecca's daughter, is expecting a little girl.

This a wonderful day of celebration and rejoicing.
