We had a wonderful visit to Rockford last week and got to introduce the first girl to come from the Brian and Missy Hand family to lots of people. Maddy met her uncles Matthew, Reis and Blake for the first time, as well as Aunt Elizabeth, soon-to-be-Aunt Courtney and Uncle Blake's friend, Ann. She also met her great Uncle Buck (Mark) and Aunt Anne and second cousin Madeline (the first!).
On Friday, there was a fabulous "welcome baby" shower for Missy, Madeline and me. It was such a blast to meet many of Missy's friends, all of whom know intimately what a big deal this is for the family. They outfitted Missy with toys, movies, dress up clothes, and everything else she would need for future overnight visits from Madeline. There was a wonderful brunch and Madeline was loved on enough to last her at least until our next visit!
I dressed Maddy in her very best dress - a special one picked out by her Papa on a recent visit to California - and she wore Nanna's good pearls (I feel like I'm giving color commentary on the red carpet!). It was such a treat and a very special day.
