On Saturday, my mom and Toby's mom hosted a beautiful baby shower for me at Hazuki. My friend from UW, Joy, made the invitations, did the games, and made me thank you cards. Tammy did a really fun game involving candy bars. My Aunty Cynna got a cute cookie dessert and Aunty Donna made cute centerpieces with Disney stuffed animals. It was such a nice afternoon spent with family and a few friends. The food was delicious and the company was great.

We had our dog trainer, Jan, come by the house last week to get Lucy and Leia started on training for the babies. Our friends, Kyle and Renee, brought their 2 1/2 month old daughter, Kaylee, over to help us with the training. We were dogsitting Stitch at the time so we were actually training 3 dogs. It was really neat to watch the dogs interact with the baby. Leia was very protective of Kaylee while Lucy was inquisitive - she kept wanting to lick her. Stitch was more interested in the treats that Jan had. Toby and I each practiced holding the baby and teaching the dogs commands. They did great! We are confident that they will be fine once our babies come. Jan did advise us to buy a baby doll that cries and practice with that. We bought one, and will start the practice this week!
