National Corndog Day

Thomas and I always look forward to our favorite holiday of the year - National Corndog Day - which takes place on the first Saturday of the NCAA basketball tournament. Even though I was 38 weeks and one day pregnant this year, we were determined to celebrate it like always. We invited lots of friends and co-workers over to our house for lots of eating and game-watching.

For those of you who don't know about Corndog Day (http://www.corndogday.com/), the goal is to eat as many corndogs, tater tots, and canned American beers as possible. You have from the tipoff of the first game (at about 10 am) until the last buzzer (about 8 pm) to do it. The ultimate goal is to complete the triple-double - 10 corndogs, 10 beers, and 100 tater tots. We didn't have anyone make that goal this year, but Thomas was a surprise contender, setting a personal best of 7/7/70. I was handicapped by Baby Harvey taking up all the space in my stomach this year. But I still managed 6 corndogs during the day.

Here I am manning the oven and holding my very own non-alcoholic Old Milwaukee beer (who knew they made these!?!?!?).

Corndog Day is family-friendly! Megan teaches her daughter, Whitney, about the finer things in life:

California Baby Shower

This weekend, I had the pleasure of attending another wonderful shower for Baby Harvey. This time, we were in California at the beautiful home of Laurie Dachs, who was co-hosting the shower with two other friends of Susan's - Marcia Argyris and Bryn Bettelheim.

In attendance was a great group of women - friends of Susan from Piedmont and the East Bay, my co-workers, and friends from college and law school. Baby Harvey received so many adorable clothes and will most certainly be the best-dressed baby in town now. Thanks to everyone!

With Elena, who has been giving me tips on having a new baby girl:

Liz Gets Married!

My beautiful little sis got married this weekend in Atlanta to Dave Fetzer! I luckily got the "all clear" from my doctor to travel to the festivities at 34 weeks pregnant, and it was certainly worth the trip. The wedding was held at a winery and resort outside of Atlanta - Chateau Elan. The whole Webb and Neeland families were in attendance, and we had a fantastic time the entire weekend.

More photos coming soon...

Baby Shower!

While I was home in Montgomery, the MA girls (and a few other dear friends and family) threw Baby Harvey a magnificent shower at Susie Pearson's home. We had a delicious brunch, and Baby Harvey was lucky enough to receive some beautiful clothes and lots of fun toys and gear. I loved having a chance to spend time with so many Montgomery friends and family.

Thanks to... Katherine, Lauren, Allie, Stacy, Susan, Andrea, Ashley, Amy, Meredith, Susie, and Nee Nee!
