School friends

K was back in class for her masters program on Wednesday evening. During their break her cohort-mates, the 12 or so people she is going through the program with, surprised her with a shower. The results were astonishing. The theme they came up with "Your Favorite Books From Childhood", and as a result we now have this:

Pretty cool, don't you think? Each one of these books means something to one of her classmates. Talk about crowdsourcing!

There was also the ubiquitous "diaper cake". This one wasn't one of those off-the-shelf jobs - this was made from scratch. Not only were there an awful lot of diapers, there were some onesies, some toys and hidden in the middle, a sippy-cup!

I've never seen anything like this. It was quite astounding. They're a terrific bunch of people, and anytime that K has a study group or a get-together with them at our place I always enjoy their company - but it's clear that the tight relationship they all have with each other, after over two years working together in the same program, is pretty special.

Anyway, I look forward to being able to express my gratitude to them in person, but if any come across this posting, MANY, MANY THANKS!
