A Great Group of People, and An Exciting Occasion

Yesterday morning, we got a phone call from Billy and Cindy Hutchens. They are members of the Lebanon Road church of Christ. They got “the call” that we once waited on. They found out that a baby was up for adoption and they could come get the baby. The only thing was that they had to wait until today to go to Texas.

So….

Some of our great young families at Lebanon Road through them a little surprise party to send them off. We prayed for this family and had a great time of fellowship. Many even were able to bring gifts (on short notice!). There weren’t a ton of people there, but it was because it was at 5:00 and some were still at work. Still, all who could have been there, were. We love this family, and pray for their safety and for a smooth transition in the adoption process.

Here are a few pictures from the party:

1. Some of the children

2. The cake that Leah made and that she and Emily decorated.

3. More kids (our little kid population at church is large, and getting larger…no fewer than FOUR families are expecting babies right now…in addition to this adoption!!!)

4. Some of the ladies who got this party together at JD and Maria Buckner’s house.

5. The new mom, Cindy.

6. The proud daddy, Billy (sorry this is blurry).
