Meet Mr. Alex

Friday we had a few friends over to meet little Mr. Alex Duffy. For those that don't know, Alex is our friends Brad & DeeDee's son they just adopted from Russia. He was just precious. You know he loved his Aunt Candice! We were so happy to finally meet the little man. He is a lucky boy to have such wonderful parents that went through a lot to get him. I look forward to many memories with Alex.

The Duffy's are PARENTS!!!

Brad and Dee Dee went to court today in Russia and have officially been named the parents of Peter Alexander Duffy! Next Friday he will be brought to their hotel and they will officially gain custody. We can't wait to meet little Alex! Congrats Duffy's.

Duffy Baby Shower

Rick and I helped host a baby shower for our friends Brad & Dee Dee Duffy who are adopting a little boy from Russia. They have already made one trip to Russia to meet little Alex, and will go back at the end of this month to officially become his parents and bring him home. Y0u can read more about their story on by clicking HERE to go to their blog. Below is the happy mother to be and me.

The decorations were AMAZING! All sports themed, and just fabulous. (we were not in charge of this!)
Rick, Gannon, Brad Duffy (proud papa to be), and Stephen. Guys just love baby showers with beer!

Congrats Duffys

Our dear friends the Duffys got word last weekend that they have been approved for the adoption process in Russia. They were sent pics of the newest member of the Duffy clan, and they are on top of the world. They came over Friday so we could go have dinner, and they told us, and recorded our reaction. It was so cute, and no doubt I cried like it was my child. I could not think of 2 more deserving people. They are the most wonderful couple, and are going to be outstanding parents. They head to Russia the day after Thanksgiving to start the process and hope to have little Duffy home by February. Please keep this wonderful family in your prayers on their exciting journey. I love you guys, and seriously could not be more excited!!!
