Friends Come for a Visit

We had some friends come for a visit today! They live quite a few hours out of state, and it was so nice to see them again! My parents met them in Ethiopia, when they were there to bring their little boy home. We got to hang out at our house, talk, laugh, and then got to go out to dinner to celebrate my mom's birthday! :)

A friend of ours, Beka, is staying with us this weekend and so we had double the fun!

Beka and 'L'! :) Such a smart girl!

This is 'E' and I!

All of the girls together! We squished together for a picture!

All of us girls squeezed onto my small bed, to play a fun game of "Catch Phrase"!



'T' and 'C' - Friends unite again for the second time, since being home!

They both have grown so much! Such cute Ethiopians!

They have three biological children (two older and who could not make it) and a 15 year old son, who didn't make it into any pictures. They also have two beautiful daughters from India! 'C' and 'T' have now been home close to 16 months! It's crazy how fast time flies, and the many friendships we can make!

Blessings, to a wonderful Sunday!

Oh such fun!! We are hoping to meet some of the families who have children from the same orphanage as our girls, but we all live soooo very far apart, it's going to take some big planning.

Blessings!

We definitely know about that! These friends only lived about 4-5 hours away. It's still quite a distance, but so worth it!

Another family that my parents traveled with are coming down to Michigan for the holidays! We're really hoping that we can find a way to see them again!

Blessings and good luck on those planning details,
