Baby Registry Help!
Registration has begun. The baby shower invites are being sent out in the next few days and we thought we should have our registrations ready for all those eager grandparents, family, and friends. It has been a little disappointing with the selection of baby-related merchandise that all seems so cliché, not to mention an overwhelming amount of these items and “must-haves!” So currently we are a little stumped on how to proceed. Any suggestions? And don’t tell us to make everything on our own! This is the 21st century for goodness sakes, who has time for handmade anything 
But seriously, any suggestions? We sort of wanted to do a typography-themed room and/or may go with an aviation theme since we do have a series of 3 childish paintings we did awhile back called “bird” “plane” and “hot air balloon”. I can’t find a photo of them right now, but I did just find some awesome illustrations by Paul Thurlby. I’m excited again…there is hope!
Check out his Alphabet Shop to see all of them.

Hey Jason and Marta! I have lots and lots of ideas and it’s so great that you’re having a boy because we also will have lots of clothes to share.
Since we have two weeks to pack up our house I don’t have time to tell you all the great things right now, I shall share a couple thoughts:
1. register at amazon.com as one of your registries
2. everyone WILL buy you clothes no matter what
3. don’t register for stupid things like wipe warmers
4. we probably have a lot of things we could let you borrow so let’s talk soon! We move to LB somewhere around Oct. 12thish….you know how escrow closing dates are…”like due dates for children!” -Emily Sumner (Who I absolutely adore by the way- thank you for recommending her!)
In closing of this super long comment…I’m really excited to see you both and we would love to help in any way that we can! I’m so excited for you guys!
awesome! thanks for the recommendations Johanna!
We can’t wait to have you guys back in Long Beach and we’re glad you liked Emily as much as we did. I didn’t realize you guys ended up having her be your real estate agent…she is the best!
See you very soon!
