Eat Cake and Be Merry!

Sam called me from work this afternoon to tell me his co-workers had thrown him a surprise baby shower complete with lunch, a cake and gifts. It was so sweet of them!

Here's the cake at work.

Here's what came home to us.

After we shared a few huge slices of cake, this is what took place....

At first Austin seemed to think it was quite funny.

But then he wasn't so sure and wanted it washed off right away.

That is, until this took place
and then all was fine with the world. :)

By the way, this all started when Sam only pretended to push Austin's face in the cake. Having been given the idea, I (yes I) was the one who first gently pushed Austin's face into the cake. It was all fun and innocent with only his nose covered with frosting until Sam decided to shove Austin's face into the cake. Then Grandma decided that her son-in-law needed a taste of his own medicine. Ha! Ha! Ha! I love my family! :)

In other news, today was also our first post-placement visit with the social worker. All went very well and we have three more visits to go before we are able to finalize our adoption.

Thank you for all your help Ilana!

hahaha, this was a funny post. uncle sam ALWAYS mock-pushes my face into things, hmph! and always pushes my cup up when i'm drinking. and knocks my arm from under me when i'm leaning on it. and laughs in my face each time. is this how he shows his love to his family? ;)
