Last night some wonderful friends from church really surprised me with a baby shower to celebrate Samuel!  It was so nice and they did such a great job planning it.  My friends Amber, Jana and Elizabeth worked together planning it and had me believe we were going to the Cheesecake Factory to celebrate Elizabeth's birthday that night, so I was not expecting a party!  Amber did such a nice job with the decorations:)  Elizabeth and Amber took pictures that I copied to put in his scrapbook that I will make when we get back home.  So many friends from church came and a few other friends; it was so exciting to see everyone.  Victoria and Lori who have experienced the wonderful blessing of International Adoption when they brought their daughters home years ago prayed for our family to have a safe trip and smooth journey.  I still can't believe all the wonderful clothes, books and toys everyone brought for Samuel.  Amelia and Dalton sure did enjoy opening them all!  We feel so very blessed that we have so many people that are excited for us and many have been excited during our whole journey that began almost three years ago!  Our time to go get our son in Monteria, Colombia is only a couple weeks away!
