(These are all the states we traveled through this summer)
Phew, I actually have a minute to sit and write before I'm off and running again. This week has been full of dentist visits, Twinks developmental doctor visit and Friday all the children go in for some sort of immunization. Not to mention everyone is gearing up for school next week. I can hardly believe ALL the children will be in school ALL day this year.
We packed up the car (yes we drove) and headed to our first destination. Well it was a lay over because we could not or should I say did not want to drive the full way the first day. We made great time! We arrived at Snapshot's house Friday afternoon. We had such a wonderful time! Princess was torn between playing with Spitfire and Twink. She really wanted to play with Twink at times but Spitfire would over rule that choice. It was great to see Twink and Princess play together. They ran around chasing each other and squealing. It was once pointed out to me that Princess was following every move that Lia made right down to her holding her hand and arm the way Twink held her affected arm. It was very endearing. Snapshot took some AWESOME pictures of the kids. The two in the previous post are ones that she took. ( Oh and no I am in NO way a professional photographer. I do have a really great friend who IS a professional that gives me really great tips though! ;) ) It was hard to say good-bye but we are planing to see the family again next summer at our house! Thanks for showing us all around your great state and feeding us yummy food!
Here Twink is pouring water on Princess!
Snapshot and Twink! She was trying to lay in the water.We then went to Florida to visit our friends from our old church who moved a couple of years ago. We miss them more than words can explain. Before anyone ask, no we did not go to Disney World. We are adopting again! One must save as much as they can, at least we do. Hence the reason we drove all over the east coast! LOL We ended up going to the beach one day and it was a steady rain! Well the beach was ours for as far as one could see. The water was warm and the kids had a blast! I wish I could have taken a picture of Lia. She actually went in the ocean and LOVED it! Thanks Tim and Becky for everything! Praying we'll see you next summer.
It took forever for Spitfire to jump in but once she did she didn't stop!Our last stop was at my friend Jeanette's house. She and Jeff were kind enough to let us stay over night as we passed through the state as we headed home. We have talked for the last three years but have been unable to meet so it was wonderful to finally meet her and her family. Please keep them in your prayers as she in Jeff are traveling to China to bring their daughter Sara Beth home as I type. Thank you Jeanette and Jeff, I KNOW we will see you again. :) Unfortunately I did not take any pictures while I was there but next time I will.
I have some great news about Twink but will share in another post! hehe
