Being the selfish runt I am I forgot to mention what wonderful gifts my wife got and our daughter in the womb received. Wifey got some maternity clothes from myself and also oddly enough lots of cooking supplies... trust me she wanted it.
She also got a sewing tackle box for lack of a better word, some books on child rearing, gift certificates to the mtn massage parlor--maternity ones, and Cinderella on DVD.
Our darling daughter received numerous pink dresses of all sorts, a frog blanket that is made of the finest material known to man{not velvet but, I'd drape myself in it if it was socially acceptable}, and a few toys (unfortunately one makes noise but I will take care of that with a screw driver and a hammer).
Money was tight so we relied on the wife's baking skills for a lot of our gifts. Lots of fudge, chocolate covered pretzles, nut clusters, and what not was given as gifts. But the mother in law received a nice sweater, pappy in law got a cd alarm clock, and a few other ins and outs from us.
I made mention in the prior post about a pocket chain saw. Well my pappy in law received such a gift from his brother. This pocket saw consisted of a chain saw chain and two handles and directions on how to use it to cut down 4 inch diameter trees. It was an odd gift but kind of funny and good for exercise i guess. He also got a palm pilot which was kind of cool, I tried to play around with it but didn't want to break it so I promptly put it down.
So on to the next entry... the returns day.
