We drove up for our second weekend visit on Friday. We arrived at around 9:00 pm so it was too late to really do anything except go to bed. We had been encouraged throughout the week that the kids had enjoyed their time the previous weekend. It was told to us that Ashton cried when we left and Heather talked about us the whole week. Caroline and Jordan were very excited to be along on this trip to meet their new brothers and sisters. On Saturday we went up to the cottage to pick up the three kids and go get something to eat. Heather saw us first and came tearing out of the house to meet us. Jessica and Ashton followed. Then I was handed 3 sleeping bags. We were told that this weekend would not be the best time for an overnighter but the housemom told us that they were so excited to spend the night. So that was that. We took all five kids to Tweetsie Railroad again for about half the day, spent some time at the park, and played wiffle ball outside the cottage we were staying at. All the kids were getting along great. Nighttime we couldn't get them to go to sleep they were having such a good time.
Sunday we went to our kids church. We met their Sunday School teachers and got a tour of the place. We all then went to Sunday School. After church we ate at some chinese food place which was pretty good. We left at around 3:00 on Sunday. Once again it was a fun weekend. It is so strange to see pictures of our family with 7 people in it. I have included a link to many photos from the last weekend. The animal pictures were taken by Jessica and Heather (both animal lovers). So anyway just click and enjoy.

I cannot wait to meet them!!! What a beautiful family!!!! It looks so natural...they are meant to be in those pictures with you all! :)
wow, you are an awesome family! lots of love to spread around, for sure! things seem to be moving along very well. how much longer do you have to wait -- and do all that driving back & forth? what's the time frame on the house expansion and having the adoption all final? separations after such FUN weekends must be hard on all. hope it doesn't continue too long - especially the younger ones, just can't understand. jessica is 12, how old are heather & ashton?
love reading the updates - keep them coming!
God bless what you're doing!
luv,
aunt janet
