Not a baby shower...

...but a toddler shower!!! My sweet friend Katie is throwing us a virtual "toddler shower" to help ease our transition home. She's having an actual party at her home in St. Louis, but anyone can participate. As I'm sure you all can imagine, we don't have any age appropriate toys/books/supplies for Bella at home in the U.S. and I can't possibly bring everything I have here home. I have been worrying a little bit about how we were going to afford to buy everything we'll need. I shouldn't have worried at all and you'd think, by now, I'd seriously know better! I was absolutely moved to tears when I got the email from Katie this morning informing me of her intentions! If you'd like more information or want to sign-up to receive your virtual invitation, please email Katie at katielmohr@hotmail.com or check out katie's blog.

Katie, we love you so much and are SO grateful for your thoughtfulness!!!

unfortunately I can't make the shower but already have a gift to send to Katie. I am so excited that Bella is going home. I just realized my little Guatemalan Prince is just 3 days older than Bella!
