Together at last!




The girls and I took a road trip last week to Tennessee. We finally met up with our friends L and S. You may remember them from some earlier posts. L and her family adopted S last year from China. She was born with a CL/CP and a severs heart defect like Abby Grace. L and I have been talking since she received S's referral. So finally we got a chance to meet. It was so exciting to see the girls playing together like the had been friends for years. Abby LOVED playing on the swing set and swimming in the pool with S. But I think her favorite part was S's tricycle. She rode it every chance she got. We also got a chance to visit the Nashville Zoo which I highly recommend if you are in the area.
L is such a great person so sweet and genuine. She is so fun to be around. We went shopping at a few little children's shops. We had a great time getting to know their family better. Can't wait til they can come visit us too. Since our boys did not make the trip they were all a bit bummed. But I told them all that they get a chance to visit in October when our agency has it's reunion. They are all really looking forward to it.

So glad that you were able to meet with L. She and I talked on the phone for almost 2 hours tonight and she didn't mention this visit!!

Looking forward to the reunion in October~

You beat me to it!!! What a great picture. I think you were nice in your comments. ;) S was a bully at times, but God in all His graciousness gave AG plenty of understanding. :)))

We are so hopeful to be able to make the October trip, but I'm just not sure with that Sept. 30 date. Know what I just realized the other day? Sept. 30 is exactly one year to the day after her OHS last year. *sigh* That will be an emotional day as it is … I'll need lots of tissues. Sure wish we could get together more often.
