Helen Street Baby Shower





Can anyone say baby shower???? Well I can because that is what we had today. My good friend Amy along with several other ladies from church put together a magnificent baby shower for both Kassidy and Gilead Rain who is another recently adopted little girl from Africa whose proud parents are Tim and Tiffany with two proud big brothers. Amy had decorated her living room area in a African-themed setting and the food/dining area into a Chinese-themed setting. It was very nice. We had a lot of the ladies from church who came and celebrated our beautiful baby girls with us and flooded us with many gifts that Kassidy loved tearing into but most importantly flooded us with much love. We are full of gratitude for being surrounded by so many caring and Godly people as we are and are very blessed to have them in our lives. We have included some pics of the shower including some cutie shots of Kassidy and Gilead. One pic is of Kassidy plopped in the middle of the floor after exerting herself so much in opening all of her gifts. This coming weekend we will be having an open house for Kassidy in WV to meet many family and nd life long friends for the first time. It has been very hard to hold off on going as soon as we got back from China but we needed our rest but am counting the days down until we pack the car up and head up to WV.

What a couple of cutie pies! Looks like you guys are all settling in so well. I can't get enough of Kassidy's adorable hair! :)

That WAS fun, wasn't it? You got a much better pic of Gielad Rain than I did!

We miss you guys! It hardly seems possible that we've been home as long as we have. Every day is a new experience for us, and we check out your site alot. Our favorite picture from the trip is of Merrilee and Kassidy sitting together in their little Chinese dresses. Rest assured, you are often in our thoughts! We made our first trip to church yesterday and Merrilee made it 55 minutes before she got restless. Every day with her is a joy, and we know you must be having the same fun with Kassidy!
