May 11, 2011 Michelle's baby shower

Baby Mike was born towards  the end of the tax season.
The whole office waited for his arrival in anticipation.
A beautiful baby boy.  

Tara & Shelly made this adorable cake made from diapers.  



During the dinner at Tomassos, we all took turns holding the new arrival.
MaryLou is smitten.



Peggy's turn.  The little outfit/bag was knitted by Michelle's mom Jane.

The office staff from the left:
Sharon, Tara, Peggy, Laurie, Alida, MaryLou, Michelle & Shelly

Looking quite content in Laurie's arms. 
Baby Mike did not mind being passed around at all.

Michelle still looking quite tired. 
Not an easy pregnancy while working very long days, and a
household to run. 

An unexpected surprise when MaryLou and I both received a gift from Peggy.
A beautiful watch.  Thank you so much.

From Laurie, we both received a bird feeder. 
The birds love it, especially the grosbeaks.
Thank you Laurie.

The layers of the cake were stuffed with gifts to keep the sides from caving in.

We had a lovely dinner with the staff.
Hard to believe that this is my last season, after working more than half my life in this office.
Will miss all of you.
