Since the announcement of our pregnancy, many friends have asked how to welcome home Cutie Spotts, or if its possible to have a virtual baby shower. Your response has been overwhelming and we are touched! Here are three opportunities to give, which you might be interested in.
1. We registered for a few items at Target.com.
2. This is our Wish List. The items pictured below are available at a local store (most items are made by a great UK company). This is easier & less complicated than having them carried into India, and the prices are only a little higher than what you'd pay in the US. Cash donations will help us buy them. Any amount will be gratefully accepted! Make checks to “Ben Spotts” and either:
a) if you want your gift to be anonymous, include a separate note that says "Please deposit to the checking account of Benjamin Spotts of 3690 Arrowhead Way, Hood River, OR 97031". Then send to:
OSU Federal Credit Union
PO Box 306
Corvallis, OR 97339-0306
b) if you don't mind us knowing (we'd love to thank you personally!), just put a few words on the memo line of your check to say which item you’re contributing towards. Then mail to Ben's parents who will email us to let us know your check arrived, and then they'll deposit it for us:
Bob & Kim Spotts
3690 Arrowhead Way
Hood River, OR 97031
Diaper Bag, $45 -- FULFILLED. Not this one, but another version was gifted. THANKS!!

3. I compiled the list below after talking to friends in India who gave their suggestions based on their own experiences with their children being born and/or brought up here. Contact me about the best way to get them carried by people coming to visit (grandparents, for instance), or I can give you our postal address. We’d love any of these. If you’d like to send them contact me for the best way to get them here.
--Clothing (Good quality can be more costly here than outside prices.)
-- Onesies
-- Diaper rash cream (A&D brand) FULFILLED! THANKS.
-- “First Years” products
