Hi. I'm Sarah. He's Kevin. The little ones are Hannah and Hudson. We're a family, blessed with our children via international adoption. Hannah Claire and Hudson Ray were lovingly cared for in Taiwan, placed into our arms on 12.29.08 and 6.13.12, and things haven't been quite the same since. Hallelujah!
"By adopting a child and helping them reach their potential, they help us reach ours. An adopted child is not an unwanted child; to the contrary. They are a child who was searched for, prayed for, cried for, begged for; received by arms that ached, making empty hearts full. Love is meant to be shared." - Author unknown
We have a Canon EOS 7D. The lenses I work with include a 24-70mm f/2.8L, 85mm f/1.8, and 50mm f/1.8.
Sunday my sister hosted a baby shower for Hannah Claire with family and a few close friends attending. Words can't express how touching the well wishes were, and how much thought and love went into the gifts. AND I had NO idea that my sister has been cross-stitching Suzy's Zoo gifts for Hannah Claire for the past year and a half! The water works really turned on when I opened stitched bibs, a piece to be framed, and a large wall hanging.
My friend Rebecca was there and photographed the event for me so I'll have pictures to help remember this special day for years to come. Here's a slide show of some of my favorites Rebecca took. Thank you!
Sarah, you and I have the same favorites. :) I love how you cropped the one where you can see the tears in your eyes!! I love that one!
I will never forget your baby shower. Talk about EMOTIONAL!!!! You got the sweetest gifts and I still tear up looking at pictures of the Suzy Zoo. :) And the mirror with Hannah Claire's picture in it!! Oh my!
Yeah for you and HC. Glad you had an awesome time. Have a great trip. We adopted Keira the week before Christmas 2 years ago. It'll make the most wonderful time of the year even better for you and Kevin. Best wishes!
Oh my goodness! I got all teary eyed while looking at your beautiful slide show. What SWEET and PERFECT gifts you received. Very thoughtful friends and family you have.
It was a spectacular time. The energy in that room was really something. And Little Miss got some good loot too! Thank you for letting me be a part of it. Sorry you missed it Kevin!~
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness!! I have been on vacation and then under the weather and am WAY behind on blogging. You have a travel date, you have a travel date. WOO HOO!! I'm doing the happy dance for you!
