Easter Sunday: The day draws nearer.....

Today is Easter Sunday and we are 2.5 days from leaving for Kazakhstan to meet Joseph. Yesteray our family gave us a baby shower - a tremendous and generous baby shower! We had many of our friends and family there at the Bloomfield Club House and organized by Laura's sisters Karen and Amy with some wonderful help of our mothers and Brian's brother Robert and Karen's husband Chris. The whole room was decoraded in Kaz colors and flags as well as the chosen theme for Joseph's room - PUPPIES. One of Chris' pastry chef students created a tremendous cake for us (photo's to follow) - it was just unbelieveable. The floral centerpieces were gorgeous and were created by Holly in Kaz colors as well and on the table were "Joseph" monogramed pencils just to add to the whole theme! To mention all of the wonderful gifts would take a LONG time but they were all so generous and touched both of us. Not only did Joseph receive gifts but we collected many donations for the baby house which will make their way into our suitcases too. It was so very clear how much our whole family is looking forward to meeting our little boy.
