We recntly had a special day with some special friends. We cancelled school and went to St. Louis with "just the girls" for the day and witnessed a new soul become an American. My dear friend brought home her newest daughters around Thanksgiving and Hope now has two sisters. Aren't they beautiful? Due to her age, the oldest needed to come in person to swear the oath of citizenship and we got to be there to celebrate with them all. Congratulations Yordie (& Hana)!!!
After the event, we visited the Gateway Arch and the museum underneath. Goose and Boo were glad to come along for the day and I got to spend many hours talking and laughing with my friend during the long drive there and back. How precious to make such memories together.
Though they didn't choose to eat lunch there, we stopped at the Ethiopian Restaurant and purchased a BUNCH of injera to bring home for the kids. Spiderman was thrilled when I made his old favorites the next day and had the authentic injera for a change. Just icing on the proverbial cake.

What a lovely day, what a joyful event, what precious friendships! Rejoicing with you and your friends! :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving words of encouragement. I am always eager to meet new friends and gain any insight I can into adopting. I was also excited to see you mention St. Louis as I am also from Missouri. When I have more time I plan to read some of your back entries into bringing your children home. I have a lot to blog about how God is working after my last post but need to find the time to sit down and do it.
Once again thanks for leaving a comment and the encouragement. I so appreciated it.
