REFERRAL DAY
AND VIRGINIA SHOWER


Timing was perfect and I had a wonderful shower here in Virginia the day after our referral came- which means we had lots of family and friends around all weekend. My sister Tricia and my best friend Peggy were able to be with us about 2 hours after our call, and Christian’s mom and brother later that evening. It was so nice to be able to share in the excitement with family and friends. We had a big celebration dinner Friday night at our favorite Chinese restaurant in Vienna. My good friend and neighbor Karen hosted a wonderful shower for me in her home. It was an amazing weekend, the only part missing was having my mom and Susan here to share in our excitement. Unfortunately, a very close family member passed away last week. Bill was a 37 year old father of four, and will be greatly missed by all. It was important for Susan and my parents to be at his wake and funeral. It was all bittersweet, as we celebrated the arrival of our baby girl and mourned the passing of a wonderful friend, husband and dad. We pray that Bill rests in peace.

Thank you to all of our family and friends that have been so supportive over the past 2.5 years and have shared so joyously in our excitement over the past few days. We feel very blessed and we know that Grace is going to be very well loved. Enjoy the pictures from the weekend!
