Beautiful quilt handmade by Erik's Aunt Shirley!
Sweet presents from Erik's Grandma & Grandpa Whalen
And from the secret agent cousin in the background (don't listen to her, Firecracker - you're not to be a future agent...).
Erik's grandpa (in the patterned shirt) - lookin' good at 80!! Boy was he surprised when 50 of his family and friends showed up after the baby shower!
And we had a lovely day at the beach the day before we left.
Fed Firecracker a yummy sandwich on the beach.
Saw a sweet little seal below the long pier on which we were standing (he was stealing fish off of people's rods...not everyone was a fan of this seal but we were!).
The beginning of the pier.
And we saw an awesome demonstration of a rescue with lifeguards in training! While we didn't successfully film the super awesome helicopter that swooped in over our heads and did a sample rescue of someone in the water (like Superman!), we did catch the lifeguards jumping off of the pier into the very cold and deep ocean.
She just had back surgery right before we got there, but you'd never know it by how she looks!
What wonderful hosts - we had such a great time.Then it was back to Austin to celebrate a very special someone's 30th birthday!
But first, some eco-friendly painting (does anyone else paint in their apron?).
And then the party (20 people gathered to celebrate)!
The happy birthday boy with his new present (action shot) :)

You and your belly look gorgeous in that blue dress! I am glad you had a nice trip to California and what looks like a fun birthday party for the boy who has now joined our club.
Love that quilt! How sweet of them to throw you a shower. And you have a totally earth mama goddess vibe happening with the blue dress/beach background/windswept hair. I certainly never looked that put together when I was pregnant :)
Happy B-day to your hubby too! Mine's having his big 3-0 this summer as well.
