Mother's Day 2013

Wendy's Art Show

The girls' school does a 4th grade Artist-in-Residence program, and this year the chosen artist did some amazing pottery projects with Wendy's class and the two other 4th grade classes. Once all the work had been fired and prepared, the students hosted a gallery walk for parents with their work on display. Each child had made a mask and a pot, and there was such beauty and variety among the pieces. It was really fun to see Wendy and her friends so excited about what they had done. And Papi enjoyed trying on Wendy's mask once she brought it home!

Reunion with Manuela

We were so excited to have the chance to reconnect with Manuela, our wonderful adoption representative! She was visiting our agency from Colombia and there was a reception to welcome her. She couldn't believe how much the girls had grown in 3 years!



Just for a little perspective, here is one from January 2010, taken right after our Integration meeting at ICBF.

Family Retreat at Camp Johnsonburg

We loved going on retreat with some other families from our church to Camp Johnsonburg, the Presbyterian camp where the girls attended last summer. We had a wonderful time playing games, hiking (and getting lost, and finding our way again two and a half hours later!), doing the zip line (all of us except the smallest two), boating, fishing, cooking out, and generally enjoying Creation.
