Living life one day at a time as a family of six...3 busy and bouncy boys and 1 Ukrainian princess. Our third son Joaquin was our unexpected blessing who came to us with a little something extra called Down syndrome and inspired us to adopt Sofia an orphan we fell in love with through Reece's Rainbow. We hope that our story will help open people's eyes to the beauty and gift that ALL children are. We are all more alike than different!

Showering Sofia
On Sunday, my "best" girlfriends threw a very intimate and beautiful shower for Sofia. It was a lovely afternoon and Sofia was a little movie star! She lights up a room when she enters it. The cool crisp mimosas were delicious on this warm September day and the company was perfect. Thank you Michelle and Katie and all our guests for honoring our little birdie and showering her with love.

What a beautiful shower, you and Sofia so deserved that! Thanks for sharing the wonderful pictures! What a journey it has been (so far) for you :)
ReplyDeleteI love how happy you and Sofia are! What beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful gathering in honor of Sofia. I have followed your site over the past 2 months. Your family is beautiful. I also have a little girl with DS and now we are in the process of adopting Anastaysia. Just completed all of the homestudy paperwork, so we are in the beginning stages. So thought I would sign in and tell you how precious she is.
