On February 5th, 1998 Kumiko's co-workers gave us a wonderful Baby Shower at Buca's in St. Paul.

10 guests came to celebrate the upcoming birth of our baby.

Of course, no party is complete with out the Pope or good food!


There were baby clothes...

And toys...

And Books, Albums and places for Pictures...

And even things to make the future Mom & Dad's lives easier!


Finally, what is a party without a cake?!
We all felt sorry for Michael, who had to eat his cake off his placemat!


Kumiko and Paul thank eveyone for their kindness and good cheer!
