Finley's baby shower

Last Saturday, Janelle hosted a wonderful breakfast/brunch baby shower at her house for Finley and I. It was a day of excellent company, delicious food, and feeling very loved!

Roxy came for a 4 day visit from Friday to Tuesday, so she was able to be at the baby shower too! Thanks for visiting, Rox; we loved having you! Here's Finley with Aunty Roxy on Friday...

Finley's first visitors

The day after he was born, Finley had three lots of visitors in the hospital.

Our very first visitor was Janelle...


Then Tyson, Nicole (pictured) and baby Acadia...


And then Shaun (pictured) and Pierre, our workers!


Here are some photos of the trip home from hospital...

Over the next week at home, we had lots of wonderful friends stop by with food, hand-me-downs, gifts and cuddles for our little boy. I can't even put into words how much this support and care has meant to us!
