This weekend, a woman from our church named Jeanie Pothoff and I threw Courtney and our friend Katie a joint-baby shower. It was held at Matushka Kathy’s (Fr. Joe’s wife) adorable condo in downtown Dallas, and was attended by around 20 of St. Seraphim’s women-folk. There was a TON of food- it seemed that everyone had some sort of delicious dish to make, including pumpkin scones, mozzera/basil/tomato baguettes, cheese and fruit platters, spinach dip, cucumber sandwiches, and bakery cupcakes in a cupcake tree.
My favorite game, I think, was the one where we all got to go into separate rooms as teams and “make a baby”. Haha, out of PLAY-DOUGH! The mommies-to-be got to be judges. It was rather hilarious, especially when Karen tried to make a diaper for theirs out of a napkin and toothpick. Out of frustration she ended up violently shoving the toothpick right through the baby’s crotch, making everyone gasp! We also played the “You Know Your Baby’s Orthodox When….” game, which resulted in a lot of unbelievable stories from the mothers about inappropriate or awkward things their kids have imitated or done as a result of being Orthodox. My favorite was about one kid who took a cross to his non-Orthodox grandmother and said, “Bow to the cross! BOW!” Another kid grabbed a For-Sale sign out of a yard one time and tried to hold a “Procession” on the grass.
