Adoption shower

Our friends Steve and Janice are adopting two little boys from Russia. They are leaving in a few weeks to pick them up and we can't WAIT because they are very close in age to Daniel and Andrew. I'm so excited to have friends with two boys the same ages as mine (mostly because now someone else will know exactly what it's like and we all know that misery loves company). I'm totally joking (not really) but I really am happy that our kids will be friends at church and hopefully outside of church.
I co-hosted the shower for them. It was relaxed, fun and full of love and support. It was a great way to spend an afternoon.

Gifts!


If hugs are being given out, Andrew's the first in line.


I love this photo.
Steve's prayer was full of joy and gratitude and trust.


Andrew wanted the boys to have this toy. It is a favorite at our house.


Ben and Emma filled a box with toys that they no longer used but wanted to share with their new friends.


Daniel was having a baaad case of scooter envy.
