Celebration time!

Showers of Blessings! Since our last blog, we have been showered with many gifts for Rosa. She has enjoyed every moment, especially meeting all her new American amigos! She seemed to be totally in her element at the two showers that were given for her. She was not shy about opening her gifts. We are so thankful that she knows she is special and feels good about giving and receiving tokens of love as well as physical love. We want to say a huge THANK YOU to Linda Sofield and the adoption group for organizing the wonderful shower for Rosa. We felt like it was such a wonderful celebration of her homecoming. I know Rosa could feel it as well! (Sorry if I--Carol--did not express my thanks very well at the time. I get overwhelmed and tongue-tied.) Also, we want to thank all the employees of Standifer Place for such a warm and gracious shower. Everything was beautiful (thank you Randall and others), and Rosa's gifts were awesome. We were so thankful for your generosity and thoughtfulness! Thanks also to my good friends Kim and Trudy for making my day by traveling to Chattanooga to make Rosa's shower. It was good to have my "kindred spirits" close at hand to celebrate with! Wish I had of gotten better pictures to post from the showers, but it did not happen. Well, I have some other good ones that I can post next! "Every perfect gift comes from above." James 1:17
