On Saturday, June 12, we had our family baby shower at Monte Verde Park in Lakewood, CA, which was hosted by Rommel's sisters, Roxanne Ignacio and Roslynne Manansala-Smith. Much love and thanks go out to Roxanne and Roslynne for conspiring to make our baby shower truly a success and very memorable. All hands were on deck and there are others that helped that we would also like to recognize - my parents for making additional food, providing drinks & for helping with the clean-up afterwards; to my brother, Ronnie, & wife Johanna for helping secure the venue, helping with the set-up, providing party goods & the lovely diaper cake; to my sister, Melanie, for painting the birdhouses for the centerpieces; to Rommel's immediate family- Ronald, Sharon, Cody, Chris, nephew Nyah & nieces Caitlynne, Rianne & Celeste - for helping with whatever needed to be done that day to make it even more special; to Rommel's dad, Ray, for providing video footage for prosperity; to Nanay Fe, for making her fine adobo recipe which everyone loved; to Cyndi & Joshua for helping with the setup & meticulously placing the branches for the centerpieces; to my friend, Quinn Bautista, for creating such beautiful, handmade cookies for our favors; and, last but not least, to the other family members whom I haven't mentioned specifically by name & whom helped that day without asking - WE LOVE YOU ALL!
From what I have heard, everyone whom attended enjoyed the food, the venue, the atmosphere and most importantly, each other. Thank you to everyone whom set aside their late morning to spend with us in preparing for the welcome of our baby. Baby thanks all of you for the lovely gifts, too!
