We celebrated Jennifer, Anton, and their little bundle of joy, Mykonos (Myko for short) with a skater themed baby shower! Our celebration was held just in time; Myko wanted to make an early appearance, and Jennifer gave birth 10 days later! Everyone at FDA is so excited for Jen and Anton as they become new parents. Congrats!
