My beautiful friend Lindsay and her husband Adam recently adopted a baby boy (They named him Michael). They had been waiting for 7 years to have a little person to be in their home. Their story is incredible, and has strengthened my testimony and love for eternal families and Temples. I was so grateful to witness such a wonderful moment in their life. With it being an adoption, Lindsay didn't have many baby things prepared. There is always a chance that something may not work out. I am so happy that it did! Our church congregation has rallied around their family and provided whatever they can for them. A few friends and I recently threw her a baby shower. And I must say, it was a beautiful shower. From decorations to food to favors, it was perfect :) Especially since we put it together in one weeks time! Here are a few pics of the fun day.
With Michael being only a week old, Lindsay left him at home and brought pictures with her so guests could see him. He is one BEAUTIFUL little boy.
