Henry Cooper

Our friends Harriet and Simon had a little boy, Henry, on August 29 in England, where Simon's family lives. They recently returned to the U.S., and we got to meet Henry. He was asleep the entire time we were there, but we enjoyed the faces and noises that he made in his sleep.

2 Baby Showers in One Day

Two of our friends had baby showers today. Luckily they were at different times.

Harriet & Simon Cooper
due in August

Harriet and Julie both graduated from the same lab at Princeton. It was nice to see a bunch of former labmates.

Here are photos of Harriet opening a few gifts.

A beautiful sweater vest that Başak's mom knitted for the baby

The Winnie the Pooh cross stitch we gave them
Unfortunately, Julie can't take credit for making this one. It was bought at a craft fair.


Cara & Fred Krikory
due in July

Cara and Julie have been good friends since high school.

Adorable and delicious cake

Congratulations and best wishes to the Cooper's and the Krikory's!!
