~ MIA'S SHOWER ~

I cannot post all the picutres at this time (I'm just a tad bit busy these days!), but hopefully one day I can share them all in a slide show.

The night of the shower is a treasured memory ~ all who attended took part in an amazing tribute to our Mia. It was truly a memorable evening; thought out to the last detail and overflowing with love. I feel like the luckiest "girl" alive!

I picked a few pictures to share with you and I hope it gives a good idea of the love and frienship I am surrounded by:

I was "supposed" to go to dinner to celebrate a friends b-day (Lisa), instead I was "kidnapped" - this is my reaction to that:

















As we turned the corner, I saw a vision of pink:
everyone in pink shirts and holding pink balloons!















Miss Meaghan stopped by to honor Mia!
















They even arranged for my dear friend, Kara
to call (she moved away a few years ago).















The presents!















Mia is set!















Yes, I am crying like a baby, but there's a good
reason: Meaghan (and her mommy) sent out
Mia's 100 Good Wishes letter and collected them
all in a beautiful album. Her aunt will sew the quilt ~
This is Meaghan's gift to Mia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Jo:

These pictures are great, and captured some really nice moments from the night. The shower really came together so nicely, and you deserve it! Your dream of having Mia is finally coming true. It's been so nice sharing this journey with you. I wish you the best of luck and a safe flight once again. It will all be worth it once you have her in your arms!

Love, Aunt Michie :)
