Thank you to my Mom /Gram Ilona and sister Laura for hosting a lovely rainy day "Tea Party"& "Baby Shower".
It was a great time had by all ! The morning was filled with buckets and buckets of RAIN!!!
Crazy down pours...but mother nature took care of us and cleared out the rain by afternoon so the ladies could join us on Cape Cod for my first Baby shower/Tea party.
I loved seeing and chatting with old family friends and friends from grade school to high school.
I know you see a lot of PINK but, Master Alexsei Kinney did receive some gifts for himself.
We all feasted on Tea sandwiches....egg salad, ham salad, cucumber, and fluffernutter too.
Lemon squares, Cape Cod cranberry bread, fresh strawberries, butter cookies and of course those yummy cup cakes.
This time in our life is so very exciting and overwhelming at the same time.
Both David and I are embarrassing it and getting ready for our new life as a FAMILY!!!
These past 5 weeks since we have returned from Kazakhstan have been busy ones and we have been MISSING our son ALEXSEI everyday. We know he misses us too and he has been taken care of by the wonderful ladies @ the Baby house.
David will be departing on Oct.16th Friday to go back to Kazakhstan to pick-up our son.
David and Alexsei will meet in the city of Almaty...the former capital of Kz and it's in the southern region of the country with mountains and the home of the apple ...the fruit.
The boys will do what they need to do ...SoS clinic health check , and the US embassy... visa stuff before returning back to the USA. This should only take a few days. David and Alexsei will be traveling together .... a great bonding time for both. I wish I could be a fly on the wall to see this!!!
Please keep them in your thoughts for a safe and easy trip home on the Oct.21st.
Watch out world! The Kinney men are on the loose.
While my men are half way around the world.....
Grandma Ginny and I will be busy with another Baby shower, taking care of the dogs and getting the house ready for the return of the Kinney Men. Oct.21st besides being Grandma Ginny's birthday will also so a HUGE day for our family!!! The day that
David and Alexsei come home to Nantucket!!!
We are looking forward till that day!!!
Sending love to all from Nantucket.
