Shower/Celebration For Will

Last Tuesday, these two sweet friends, Amy and Sarah, hosted a welcome home shower for Will! Our referal and court date happened so quickly, that we did not have time to schedule a shower before we traveled to get him. So last week a bunch of moms and kids gathered at Amy's neighborhood clubhouse and pool for lunch and some swimming fun! It was such a nice day and I really appreciate all of the work that Amy and Sarah put into making such special memory for us!

This was the cupcake table! So CUTE!
And if you look closely, the white cupcakes had little brown babies on them! Loved it!
This is a picture of all of our yummy lunch items!
We have been blessed with so many hand-me-downs and wonderful baby items that friends have let us borrow, that we really didn't need anything else for Will. Instead of gifts, our friends wrote notes to our family with their special thoughts and blessings for Will. They used little clothes pins to pin them to the branches in this vase. They also pinned on donations for Hannah's Hope! We received $100 to send to Hannah's Hope in Ethiopia and we are so grateful for that wonderful gift!
Will got a lot of attention! Here he is with Holly, Natalie and Abbey! They started out in the kiddie pool, but quickly headed over to the big pool!
A few of the boys kickin' it up on the side of the pool!
Helen getting some love from the big girls....Natalie and Lydia.
Beckett and Matt were a great team when the boys were "chicken fighting" in the pool!
Finally, our Will with our friend Will!
Thanks again to everyone who came and celebrated with us last week. It was such a fun day!
