Friends, bathing suits, and doctor......oh my!

Last week we had the opportunity to meet a fellow adoptive family through Generations. This family spoke at our orientation a year ago, and I have followed that family's blog ever since. Such a neat family, and I was so glad Natalie and I had the chance to hang out with them for a few hours (ah the joys of a stay at home mom)! They have 3 beautiful children through adoption, but we only met 2 as the oldest was in school. Unfortunately we only got a picture with the youngest one=(   Precious memories, and good friendships. It's nice to swap stories with other families about our adoption experiences and sometimes struggles. It is nice to talk about our children without worrying about the subject of breast feeding, the pangs of pregnancy, or the woes of delivery coming up (because then I have nothing to contribute).

This morning we had the joy of seeing two adoptees together in church! This is our friend, Brynn, who just came home from China only a couple of months ago! She has adapted so well, and just lights up a room when she walks in. Sorry they are sideways. I'm not sure how to rotate!

So our new friend we got to meet last week was so sweet to have a gift for Miss Natalie when we got there. And it is just about the cutest thing I have ever seen! Now I really can't wait until summer!

Isn't the ruffle one the rear the cutest?!

And this one is from some friends back home. I mean this girl will be too adorable this summer=) Thanks Josh and Tiffany!

Tomorrow morning we will have her 4 month checkup. I am so excited to see how much she has grown! Not so excited about the shots. I thought Brian was getting to go with us but he can't=( I guess mommy better take some Kleenex.
