The Baby Shower!

I can't believe we had a baby shower! I never dreamed the day would ever come. It's like little girls dreaming of their wedding day. I have been dreaming for years about my baby shower!

My mom and sister did alot of work making decorations and it was absolutely beautiful, their new found interest in the chinese culture was refreshing. It meant so much to me. Daniel's family helped decorate the day of the shower and were a great help to my mom. So thank you to all of them!!

I don't have many pictures yet (my camera is terrible, all my pics turn out blurry) but the lovely Bonnie Farrell took many pictures and she will get them to me so I can post them. So...as soon as I can. But here are a few...
This is my sister in law Angela and niece Tristen, they are sitting at the guest book, letting everyone know about the 100 wishes quilt and giving everyone their chopsticks and fortune cookies!



There was roughly 40 to 50 guests that came. It was so nice to see everyone and know that they are thinking of us. So thank you everyone that came. There are so many wonderful people just waiting for Mei Lin to come home!

The last gift we received was from my fellow co-workers at Hemphill GM. A tricycle suped up "Hemphill Style" with ALL the bells and whistles. It has a canopy, streamers, bell, stickers and most important...it has "Princess" written on the side. Little Mei Lin is already a princess in our eyes...so this tricycle was so fitting! Thank you to everyone at Hemphill GM!


It was down pouring rain that night, so it was nice that everyone still wanted to put on their rainboots and come out and wish us well. THANK YOU EVERYONE!!
