That's great, welcome.  Love your son's name.  That was on our list of names
as well.  Look forward to getting to know you more.

Hi Erin:
I joined this list a little over a month ago myself. I have a three month
old named Noah. I actually used the Noah's Arc theme for my showers as well.
I have received awesome tips thus far and look forward to communicating with
everyone and sharing ideas.
Janel
