This past weekend

We had an awesome Saturday with the Fourniers going to the Lego store, lunch at The Cheese Cake Factory and then watching Sarah and Claire bungee jump on a trampoline. We then went to Crave for fabulous cupcakes and played outside in the animal garden. It was a great last hurrah before having to go back to work.

Micah is beginning to walk

I can't believe that Micah is getting ready to walk. Her favorite things to do are to hold on to my shoulder and pull my hair and now walk around holding one hand. Dada put her behind the Dora car and she began to walk around the house.

Zadie

My dad (Zadie) passed away tonight and I wanted to make sure that Sarah and Micah always remember him and how much he loved them. He was a good man who loved his family and friends. I hope that he enjoyed life to the fullest to the end. I love you Dad!

Seeing Lily and Rebecca and Marvin and Carol

Silly pictures of Micah and Sarah

Micah and Sarah love to ham it up for the camera. Micah hasn't gotten the hang of it too much but Sarah sure has. The pictures of Sarah playing the guitar is when she began taking lessons. She and her dad play side by side now. Micah with her face on the steering wheel of her car is how she turns the music on. She hasn't learned to press the button with her hand so she uses her mouth and hand.

Here are more pictures of the River Walk

Here are more pictures that Carol took in San Antonio on the River walk. It was hot ans sweaty but we had a great time. Carol is an awesome photographer.

San Antonio on Sunday

On Sunday, we spent the day with Carol and Marvin Harlan and 6 of their kids. The kids range in age from 22-3. We met Carol and Marvin when we first switched from non special needs to Special needs adoption. Carol and Marvin were with us every step of the way. When I had doubts I would call Carol and she would talk me through it. They are lovely people and am so glad they are now my friends.
It was a delight to be with them. We talked in their hotel room for awhile and then walked the river walk to Joe's Crab shack for lunch! They are so much like Russ and I that it was scary at times. We think so much alike. By the time we were done with lunch, it was late and we had to go back to Oma's and then drive back to Houston.
