Shower with Friends

Some wonderful friends who have supported Scott and me during this journey had a shower for us after church. It was wonderful to be with friends and to have our mom's travel from South Boston to join in the fun. Paula's home was decorated beautifully and Kelly and Elizabeth made everything just perfect for the day! It was a great time to get together with coworkers to celebrate the upcoming arrival of Kristin Scott. Kristin received lots of books, outfits, soft toys, musical toys, bath items, handmade clothing and a beautiful handmade quilt. I also received a beautiful silver bracelet with 1 Samuel 27 engraved on it with Kristin Scott also engraved on the inside, it was beautiful and the bible verse we have over Kristin's crib. " I prayed for this child and the Lord has granted what I asked for him."Thanks, ladies - it was amazing and it was so much fun to see everyone!

Amazing Shower

Today we had our first baby shower for Kristin Scott! It was an amazing day with beautiful decorations and a great time to visit with family, friends from church, and friends from the church where Scott and I got married. We were both overwhelmed with the excitement and generosity of everyone. Scott's cousin and aunt, Sha, along with our moms, friends from church, and others did an outstanding job preparing for this day. It was so inviting with decorations representing China's culture, delicious food, lots of books, and lavender and yellow throughout the fellowship hall. We received so many wonderful gifts and greatly appreciate the prayers and well wishes as we continue to wait to bring home our daughter who is already loved and cared for so much! Thank you to everyone who was part of making this day so special. A few pictures of this special day are below!
