Some of my dearest friends hosted a party for Isabella. About 30 girlfriends came and we had so much fun! These women were my main prayer support during our four year journey to adopt. We just laughed, ate and everyone got to meet Isabella. Her little life is such an answer to our prayers!
Here is a photo mosiac from Saturday afternoon. You can click on the collage or any photo to enlarge.
I framed a couple of my favorite pictures below:

Big Kahuna and I have known each other since we were kids and have been married for almost 15 years. We are passionate about our family, travel and serving God. We love helping people and bringing them hope. We laugh ourselves to tears watching classic episodes of Saturday Night Live and The Office. Summer is our favorite season, and we live for warm evenings playing with the kids on the beach.
Big Surf is 14 years old. He's a voracious reader, focused, and spends hours building things. He is our resident techie and is also learning to play the violin. He loves to spend his free time playing baseball, flag football, or out on the trails by the house building his clubhouse.
Goofy Foot is ten years old. He devours his free reading books like there is no tomorrow. He is also the family comedian. If you see him, ask him to tell you a joke! He is tender-hearted, social and compliant. When he is not outside riding his bike, you'll find him drawing or writing a funny book.
Beach Bunny is three years old. She is our sunshine! She joined our family through the unbelievable gift of adoption. Beach Bunny loves to snuggle with us and carefully takes care of her baby dolls. She is super silly and must say hi to everyone! One word that describes her is "joy".

So glad you got to have that fun celebration with the ladies who helped you pray Bella Grace home! What a miracle these babies are!
Please stop by our new blog-www.keepingthefaithadoption.blogspot.com to see our new Guatemalan blessing! God is so good-Ariana couldn't come home because God needed her in Heaven, but he sent us baby Ben!
Hope Isabella is adjusting well!
WOW!! A lot has happened since I checked in last. Welcome Home ( a bit belated). So glad it is all going well. The welcome home video had me in tears.
Looks like you have some great friends.
You know, our family settled in easily and quickly as well. I think we are very lucky.
She is just beautiful!!
What a beautiful shower! I love the picture collage! Bella Grace is adorable!

Congratulations on finally bringing your Isabella home! What a beautiful family you have and I love, love how you decorated her room!! I remember when I brought each of my girls home and I went into their room at night ~ that it almost seemed surreal looking into their cribs and seeing them there! I thank God for them every day.
I have so many hits to my website from yours and I thank you for keeping me on there. My 20 month old Gabriella drags her doll around by the hair. Guess thats a good test for the dolls........
Blessings to you and your family.
