We live at the end of a cul-de-sac made up of 8 houses. Usually a neighborhood has a mix of good neighbors, as well as those you might simply not associate with. Well, Roseberry Cove is a special street. All 8 families are fabulous!On Saturday, my neighbor Regina threw me a neighborhood baby shower. She went all out with food, a gourmet cake, and lots of gifts! All eight 'women of the cove' were there (Pat, Regina, Beth, Brenda, Juelle, Jessica, Laura and myself) to celebrate and socialize. The two hour shower ended up going three hours -- we had such a good time talking. The dads of the cove took all the kids to the rollerskating rink so we could have a quite time to ourselves. Everyone was so generous. I don't think I'll be needing to make a diaper run any time this summer! When the kids got home, they all helped transport the gifts to my house, (for the small price of a slice of cake!).
Thank you all so much for the gifts and the kindness you've all shown to me and my family. We love you!! What a great place to live.

How fun. We used to live in a cul-de-sac like that. I don't know any of my neighbors now. They're all full time workers, so I envy your relationships. It looks like you got lots of good stuff.

I had a great time at the shower with all of you as well. It was so nice to get a chance to sit and visit with no interruptions !! You are off to a great start on the diapers and wipes for the next few months. When you are ready for your manicure/ pedicure just let me know . It will probably be one of the last things you do for yourself for a while !! Laura and I hope you enjoy it ! Cheri, you look just great !! I agree, all of the prayers and "well wishes" we are sending your way are definitely making a difference. We will keep it up !! Keep up the blog !!! Love Jessica
Cheri-
Haven't been in touch, but we've all been praying for you regularly. Sounds like you have a lot of support from friends and neighbors -- what a blessing! My kids don't know you really, so they keep calling you their Aunt Cheri. Close enough.
Just thought I'd drop a note to let you know we're with you!
