Our special adopting buddies come for a visit

Our best picture of the gang at our last stop. Beau Jo's for lunch.
Just try and get a good picture of the gang!




Jade's first night in her bed that her dad made her



Asia and Keisha sleep on the floor. Asia is 3 days older. They got her in Russia in Feb and we got Asia in April of 2004.
Way back when we were supposed to adopt from Latvia, we met these folks. They ended up going to Russia and you know our story! I made their flight plans to San Antonia and made sure they came and visited us as a layover. So, Christmas night the girls and I picked them up at the airport. The next day I subjected poor Denise to go to Crate and Barrell with me to stand in line for some really cute bowls that match my kitchen! We then loaded the vehicle with all 10 (boys rode in the trunk) and went for a mountain drive. The kids were maxing out at about Georgetown, so that is where we stopped! I really wanted to take them to Keystone lodge and show them the chocolate display...but hey you can only fit so much in a day! We then went to Beau Jos and waited for an extremely long time (6 hungry cranky kids amplified this!) for our Pizza. Then had them at the airport by 5pm for their flight. It was great to see them again after 6 years!
