A surprise gift & a "Marine Dad"

On Wednesday, a surprise present arrived at our door. I could tell from the box that it was the Pack-n-Play that was on our registry, but I wasn't sure who it was from. I wanted to wait until Jason got home to open the box. When we moved the box inside from the porch, I noticed that the "SOLD TO" field said Gayle Daniel, so I assumed it was from my Mom & Dad. We called my parents to say thank you - but my Mom informed us that the gift was not from her, she simply ordered it for someone???? I also think my Mom secretly got a kick out of this because I can be very hard to surprise (I am a self-proclaimed "snooper") :-) We were quite confused, but since we called to thank them while we were in route to Cracker Barrel for dinner, we had to wait until we got home to find out who the true gift giver was.....

Once we returned home, we tore into the box & discovered that the gift was from my aunt Cindy, uncle Wayne, cousin Kristin & Popey!!! Here are a couple of pictures of the Pack-n-Play ...on the top there is a changing area and a "newborn napper" which will be great for Easton to sleep in when he first comes home from the hospital. Thanks Cindy & family - we love it!

Jason had to wear his dress blues for work today, which is a rare occasion..... I decided that he should pose for a picture in front of the crib. So here's a pic of Easton's "Marine Dad." For some reason he won't smile when he's in his dress uniform - I think it's an unwritten rule or something. :-) But regardless, doesn't he look sharp????
