Multinational Baby Showers

Last night I attended a baby shower at which a dozen ladies from our church here in Switzerland gathered:

- 4 South Africans
- 3 Americans
- 2 Swiss
- 1 German
- 1 British
- 1 Canadian

To complicate matters a bit more:

- two of the Americans are married to Swiss men
- one of the Swiss ladies is married to a South African man
- two of the South Africans have dual nationality, one with Germany, and the other Switzerland

Quite an interesting group!

We chatted, ate dessert, played a few games, and prayed over the expectant mother (my favorite part, since it will make a lasting difference in her life beyond this one evening).

I was looking around the room, and noticed that there were three pregnant ladies there, and five ladies who have had a baby in the past year or so...we are a fertile church!
Allison hosted a shower for Jami
Another Allison hosted a shower for Tanya
Tanya hosted a shower for Katja
Katja hosted a shower for Tiffany
Michelle hosted a shower for Diane
Diane hosted a shower for Kristin
Kristin helped Annabel host a shower for Hanni

I have been able to attend five of these seven showers held since we moved here in 2008. What a lovely circle of caring (and productive!) ladies. Thanks for all these friends, Creator of mothers and babies!
