We are happy to announce that Doug and Rene' will be adopting a baby! We're not sure when this will all happen, but what we do know, is that their profile book is out there, and now we just wait and pray for a mother who will give them the best gift ever. A baby boy or girl! I'm so excited for them and this new baby! I know it will be loved so much, not only by them, but the whole Dyksen family as well!
While we wait for baby boy or girl, we have been able to do some fun stuff like throw baby showers! We all know how fun it is to see all the cute baby things.

Mom D, Kelly, Cara, Cassie and myself threw Rene' a Dr. Seuss baby shower. Carter even helped out. He designed the invitation layout!
Pretty cute huh?
Mom Dyksen made a super cute diaper cake.
Kelly made some cute Dr. Seuss cake pops and Cara made a yummy breakfast casserole
While people arrived we had each guest sign and write something to baby Dyksen in the Dr.Seuss book Oh, The Places You'll will go!!! 
First things first tho! We dug into the yummy breakfast casserole, cake pops, muffins and some wonderful punch Rene' requested which reminds me that I need the recipe! :)
Rene' then shared about the adoption. They have their profile book out and have reached their financial needs which is a huge blessing!
Then came the fun part........opening all the cute and fun baby gifts!!!
Mom Dyksen made the Dr. Seuss blanket! Way cute!!!
She ended up with lots of nice things to welcome baby Dyksen!
We wrapped up the shower with a time of prayer. Each person took turns praying for the health of the baby, for the mother who will give their child to Doug and Rene' and gave praises! It was such a moving time!
I'm so thankful for being part of such a special baby shower! Adoption has always been near and dear to my heart! It's my prayer that this little one will grow up knowing that he or she is very much loved and will grow into a relationship with our heavenly father!
Here's just a few more pictures of the guest that helped make this shower special!

Now that the shower is over we wait and pray! We know it's not our timing but God's timing. So, in his prefect timing we will have a new baby Dyksen! Until then we wait!
