At about 11:50 pm, we were patiently awaiting midnight at which time it would be fair game to shower Helen. I was passing the time by hugging her new bear.

This is a haunting image of Helen being dragged away by Nate for her first showering. I think Andy forgot to turn the flash on.

"Oh damn, I broke the shower head"

She got wet after the first showering, but there was plenty more after that.
