Blessed beyond measure!

The shower could be summed up in one word WOW! My mom and sisters did such an amazing job and blessed us beyond measure. At last count we had almost 60 people at the shower! There were people from over 2 hours away that came, friends, neighbors, family, and almost all my sisters were there. It was an amazing time to celebrate all that God has done and how he has used so many people to help us get this far. We talked and ate amazing food and then I got to open a huge amount of gifts. People went above and beyond gift giving at the shower. We got the cutest outfits, some great toys, diapers, bath supplies, books, tub toys, gift cards, and not to mention a highchair, wagon, car seat, backpack carrier, and bike. Our children are going to be as overwhelmed as we were with all the things we were given. I think even beyond the blessing of the gifts was the blessing of all the people that came and in doing so showed the amazing support we have had in bringing these children home. I know I have put this on the blog before but God is so big! This journey to adoption has been up and down but we have continued to see his faithfulness at work. I was just talking to my friend Rebecca tonight and whenever I get to review the adoption and the last year I am reminded of all that God has done and I am so thankful that he chose us to walk through this to know him better and to be refined in our walk with him. There is also the most awesome thing that comes from all this… our children! So overall it was a perfect weekend, one I will treasure for a long time.
Thank you to everyone that came and made this special night happen.
