8 Days and Counting

...and the countdown continues.

Another fabulous weekend, and they're just going to keep getting better, or at least different for sure. This weekend we have to thank Donna Hui and Theresa Lang for putting together a wonderful baby shower for us. Held at Brix, a great bar and restaurant in Richmond Hill, Donna and Theresa were able to bring together about 40 of our closest friends to celebrate our imminent trip to China to finally meet our daughter.

As always, we are overwhelmed by the generosity of everyone who attended, and we want to thank you all for taking the time to help us celebrate and for the wonderful gifts you brought for Samantha. We can't wait to dress her in the cute little outfits, watch her play with the interesting toys, and read her the books that she has received. The gifts cards are also going to come in so handy for picking up some of the things we haven't gotten yet, and all those extra necessities that we have no idea that we need. Now the two Winnie the Pooh piƱata's are a different story. We can't imagine beating that poor defenseless animal, but we're sure the kids won't have a problem - especially when there's candy involved. We are truly blessed to have such great friends, and you can rest assured that we trust each and every one of you so much that we will have no problem leaving Samantha in your competent hands - often.
