Last weekend was a great one...particularly because we got to visit with out-of-town friends we had not seen in a year. (advice: Don't wait that long to see friends, if you can help it!) They invited us to their oldest daughter's dance competition...this is our third year to attend, so I guess you could say it is becoming a "January tradition"! We met them Friday night at a Cracker Barrel and the kids had a blast getting reacquainted. It's amazing how much the kids have grown in a year. We were also happy that our friends could finally meet Esther Marie. We adults reminisced about our trip together to China when we adopted MaryAlyce and Ellie....and talked about their upcoming trip to adopt their next daughter. We are becoming quite a large group when we meet so people take notice and ask about the children. When Jasper and I go out with our whole family, it is almost inevitable that we will get into a conversation with someone about the children and adoption. That's never a problem for me though because I am such an adoption advocate at this point. I probably should wear a t-shirt that says...."Hey, if you ask me about them, make SURE you have time to talk!" (haha) Anyway, it was good to see our friends, the "H family," and we had a blast at the dance competition on Saturday!
If you haven't seen some good friends in awhile, pick up the phone and call to find out how they are doing and make plans to see them soon!
