I’ve posted before about all the awesome connections we’ve made over the years of the adoption process and since then. It’s it wild that I can say “years” - yah, it’s been 2 years total since we got started. It was a little over one year ago when I first started blogging.
Now that I’m thinking about it - calling all of these fantastic people connections seems a little stale. As we’ve truly gotten to know folks, we can see what amazing friends we’ve really made. Certainly we all meet people initially because of some common interest, hobby, or experience. I’ve made friends at work, volleyball, church, all kinds of ways and places.
Recently we traveled to the great state of Rhode Island to spend a weekend with our good pals. We had a blast with this little guy and his 3 beautiful sisters.
Oh yah, AJ’s parents are pretty awesome as well. They took us around for a nifty tour of their area, including a fun day in Newport - home to rich and powerful New England elite, or at least in some neighborhoods. It was a weekend of first for me - my first lobster roll. We also shared a big plate of stuffies - another Rhode Island fav - and a couple of huge seafood platters. Heck - the clams were so good in the Ocean state, that I even liked the chowder. Who out there expected that our 1.5 year old munchkin would love clams and lobster? Oh yah!
A few more pics of the crazy kids
It was a fantastic trip with some good friends. Love you guys!
Last week, we had our first fall PADGAF picnic. What’s PADGAF? Pennsylvania Guatemala Adoptive Families - a group of families each with a connection through the fact that we’ve welcomed children into our families through adoption, or are in the process of doing so. We started getting to know these fine folks via connections made on message boards, and through the encouragement of our mutually shared adoption social worker. Our alternative name is the J fan club. Anyway, I’m awaiting permission to post some pics that include the other kids. Don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable.
In the mean time - here are some fantastic shots taken by the red head - some during a day at the park a few weeks ago. She’s getting the hang of our new camera, don’t you think?
