0 The Supporting Cast

This past weekend Tania E. Bracetti-Cahill (Lina's sister) and Aida Rosado (Lina's mother) held a baby shower for Lina. We had guests from Philadelphia, Florida and all parts of NY in attendance for an afternoon tea party in Manhattan honoring the mother-to-be.

Once we arrived home we had time to process our thoughts and take inventory of all the generous gifts. We are overwhelmed by every one's enthusiasm and generosity. It's understood that we all are doing our best to weather through these challenging economic times; so for people to graciously equip us with the tools for parenting is truly humbling. Although we are sending out the thank you cards this week, we felt compelled to say THANK YOU to everyone in advance. We can't thank everyone enough.

To our daughter: "You are not alone. You will always have God. In addition to his greatness, he has provided you with a supporting cast that is driven on putting your mom and I in a position to be the best parents we can be to you. They came out in support before you arrived and will continue to do so after you arrive. You will never be alone..." ~ Mom & Dad

0 Baby Registry


I've noticed almost every time we tell people where we are registered two things are usually said:
  1. "I've never heard of that store..."
  2. "I can't find your registry..."
So let's clear the air. Lina and I are registered at Buy Buy Baby. Being that they do not have any stores on the west coast I think an explanation is in order. Buy Buy Baby is a baby superstore owned by Bed, Bath & Beyond. Think of it as Babies R' Us' competition. There are some great opportunities for savings as Buy Buy Baby accepts Bed, Bath & Beyond coupons (they must be current and follow the same exclusions in the fine print), they accept manufacturer coupons and also accept Babies R' Us coupons. Talk about going for the jugular!

We are also registered at Amazon Baby. It's basically Amazon.com. All you have to do is go to www.amazon.com/babyregistry and search for Lina Colon.

To make it easier I've included links below to both registries.
