While we live in NC, we both consider our home sweet home as WV. This is where we grew up and a lot of our friends and family live there. So we were so excited to get there to have Kassidy meet people that have loved her and anticipated her arrival for a long, long time. As you can see, they had an all out party fest for her arrival. We decided to have an open house instead of an official shower because we wanted men and children to come and to not have such a formal setting so that we could do more socializing than setting around and watching Nikki open gifts for hours, which is fun also but since we do not get to see everyone in WV that often and since it was Kassidy's first "showing" (hehe) we definitely wanted to spend more time with talk and hugs. The pics above are of the decorations, cake (made by Billy's aunt Debbie who lives in WV) and friends, family and church family in WV. We could not be more blessed to have all these people in our lives and now in Kassidy's life as I think I do not have to emphasize too much because the pics says it all. She is already so loved!
We are Billy and Nikki and have been married for 9 years. Life is great, but there was one thing missing! A child in our life. Therefore, over three years ago we decided to adopt a baby from China and have been waiting for her ever since. We can't wait to receive our referral packet with information and photos of our new baby. A very long pregnancy. Our stay in China will be 2 weeks. We will keep you up to date with photos and our daily updates through this blog.
We are very fortunate to have family and friends support us as we venture out to go from being a couple to a family. We want to thank our family and friends for their warm and heart felt responses and interest. They say it takes a village to raise a child...We have an incredible "village" family and friends that really care and support us. Thanks for helping us "Bring Kassidy Home."
Billy and Nikki
