There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle......
The other is as though everything is a miracle.

Sharla hosted a get together at her house last night. I met a new friend, Justine. She adopted 2 little girls from Ethiopia about a year ago. I have followed her blog so it was fun to meet her in person and get to know her a little bit. Our kids really hit it off and nobody wanted the evening to end. Sharla and her husband recently received their referral for a boy and a girl from Ethiopia. They hope to travel in the fall to bring their kids home. Tracy and her husband Rob have been our friends for a long time and I am sad to say that their family is moving to Ontario. We are sad to see them go.....their 3 kids that they adopted from Ethiopia last year are excited about the move. They will get to see their grandparents all of the time now....so good for them!!
It is always fun for our kids to connect to other kids adopted from their country. Maya made a funny comment on the way to Sharla's...I had told her that we would be meeting some kids from Ethiopia and she then asked me if there was going to be any white people there. I told her yes....I'm white....she said I didn't count. Anyway it was great to meet new people and get to know their stories. We will do it again...maybe in August.
Sharla, Tracy, Debbie(me) and Justine

    It was great to see you and the girls again. Also, so nice to talk hair and parasites and all those other topics that non-adoptive moms would have no idea about!

    You know what is so funny about that picture of us? We make Justine look so tall! I think Justine is probably average, but we're quite the team of shorties - we look way taller when we stand together like that! :)
