Well it only took me a year to get the photos uploaded.  We are preparing to go to our 2 year travel group reunion and I thought I better get these up from last year. HA HA!  Six of the 9 families were able to attend and we had it in Austin, Tx where one of the families lives.

The first night we had dinner at a yummy tex-mex place and went to a cupcake stand called, “Hey Cupcake”. They had giant cupcakes in various flavors that were delicious. The girls were far more interested in the rocks on the ground.

The next day we went to our adoption agencies yearly picnic at a lake in Austin.

After nap time we headed over to one of the families house’s for some wonderful local pizza. We attempted a “purple couch” photo which went about as well as the red couch photo in China.

We had a wonderful time catching up and seeing how much the girls have grown. And while packing up our hotel room Mike took one of our favorite photos of Nadia ever.

    Beautiful pictures, especially the last one! So sweet! You’ve probably told me this, but I guess I didn’t realize that Nadia and Sarah were both born in Jiangxi province! :)
    How great that you can get together with other adoptive families each year. Our agency is quite a distance from us, but we would like to attend one of their summer picnics!

    Oh what fun!!!!!!!!! Just adorable!!! Looks like Nadia may be a worship leader someday? I know Lily just LOVES our worship time, I catch her closing her eyes and raising her hands above, just melts my heart, even if she really doesn’t know what worship is yet:)
