Meeting Gio!

I've mentioned a few times on here before about our sweet friends, Lisa and Jordi, adopting a baby boy from Ethiopia.  Well, he has arrived and we were lucky enough to meet him on his true 1st birthday!  I just know he and Lucy will be the best of friends!

We decorated the inside of their house with balloons and streamers for when they returned with their precious little gift. 

The happy new family!
 Of course Lucy's first pit stop in the party was where the food was, ha!  That's my girl!

Lucy's with Jordi's sister, Claudia, who made Lucy the most adorable pink hat for this winter.  Love it, thank you Claudia!

 Happy Birthday Gio!

 Lisa and Jordi are a host family to several college students and their two Ethiopian students came over and sang Happy Birthday to Gio in their language.  Made me teary, so very sweet.

 And, Lucy already not sharing very well with Gio.   Sorry buddy, we're working on it, haha!

But, my sweet girl gives the best "I'm sorry" hugs you'll ever find!

Thank you Jordi and Lisa for letting us share this moment with you and Happy Birthday Gio!
