Welcome Baby Mason

This week, our dear friends adopted a baby. Our emotions have been all over the place.

We literally feel like Mason's crazy aunt and uncle.

Both of us this weekend have at random times...

had tears streaming down our face
screamed with excitement
jumped up and down
held our breath
Paced
clapped our hands
not stop smiling

What a journey. It's too long of a story to write here, but you can visit www.unexpectedhope.com for more details.

Yesterday was a down day. We were home, but wishing we were still in the hospital with the Barkers.

Here's what i did to pass the time:

Gift bags for the Barkers to give to the nursing staff and doctors. My amazing sisters-in-luv did this for me when we had clark. It was a huge blessing to me.

Barker's printed off a family picture with a personal note thanking the staff for treating them so well as adoptive parents. Beautiful.


We made 13 of these mini bags

...and another perk is that we get to enjoy the leftovers!
