who hosted a baby shower for me this week....a surprise shower at that (it really was!)......a lovely dinner party with no shower games, no shower hat and no mint green or yellow sleepers to be seen. That is the sign of true friendship!!! There was lots of good food, perhaps a little too much wine and most importantly lots of great company and laughter.....
Thank you - for a memorable evening - and if I ever get the pictures from *****'s new iPhone - I will post some here......
Thank you also to my colleague's at work who hosted a shower before I went on leave - your generousity was overwhelming - I have made a small dent in the gift certificate - and will be heading back this week to finish off my checklist of what Olivia will need for both travel and when we get back - I was thinking of you as I headed out to babies R us and it feels like I have been gone for a long time even though it has been only a couple of weeks.
Thank you to my fellow hockey moms who have also ensured that when we get back from China, there will be no reason for Olivia and I to miss any games and practices for lack of "not having a thing to wear" - she now has a number of outerwear options to consider!!
And thank you to those who have dropped off gifts, cards and kind notes - your thoughtfulness is very much appreciated.
While we often hear from people about how lucky Olivia is to be joining our family (and we really think we are the lucky ones to have found her through this journey) this experience has reminded us us how fortunate we are to have such supportive friends, family and colleagues - on behalf of Mike, Max, Riley, Olivia and I - THANK YOU!!!
