Party!
 While we set stuff up, Mary-Mia's husband, Rod (above) kept Gwen entertained with some piano lessons. | I don't have a picture of them, but we were also really excited to see K of the Wunchmachen blog and finally meet her husband, F. I would love to name everyone who came but I know I'd leave someone out so I'll just leave it as this. |  Above, is Kat and Colin. It was fun to see them again and we can hardly wait until they have their daughter! I hope the time flies! |
| There was special reason to celebrate as our dear friend, Stacey, finally got Ryleigh's referral. .  | Ryleigh will be turning 1 in a couple of days so Andrew baked a cake (from scratch!) and we all sang Happy Birthday. Stacey cried but we're not sure if it was our singing or the sentiment |

| This party was super easy since we did it as a potluck. The food was fabulous and we got to meet lots of new faces. Including some new baby faces! On the left is little Kelly (Lisa's baby girl) and there's Gwenny below her and "Dragonfly Diary" Helen sitting on her mommy's lap. |
Above, Emma enjoys something yummy dipped in chocolate! |

Hi - cute pics, looks like everyone had a great time! I also wanted to say CONGRATS on being mentioned in the blog article in the latest Adoptive Families magazine! Good for you!
Fun, fun, fun! What a great group of people. I know I say that every time this group gets together, but it's true!!! :-)
I am glad there was a cake for Ryleigh! Looks like you all had lots of fun!
Looks like you all had a great time!
Hooray! It's wasn't exactly our goal to remain "stealth." In fact, you can see my right knee in the Kelly, Gwen, Helen photo. - kristin
Looks like a fun party and a chocolate fountain to boot.
Oh how fun to get together and meet so many blogging buddies! I really enjoyed your photos.
We are going to a monthly get together later this month of our local FCC's waiting parents group. They are having a couple who recently returned with their daughter as a guest speaker. I'm so looking forward to seeing their little one and hearing about their experience.
