Adam & Ryan



Emma enjoying the YUMMY cake and enjoying having Kristie's attention

What would we do without friendships in our lives? Brian & I both have been amazed at our friendly and open the people are here in Kentucky. Besides the numerous friendships we have made through church, our neighborhood and Ryan's activities, we've also had the blessing of making many friendships throughout the adoption process.

Saturday evening we had dinner with a couple we met last summer that are about a month ahead of us in the wait for our next adoption. They have two boys, Adam and Alex that are so incredibly sweet with Emma and have to be the most patient two children I've ever met in my life. Emma has really taken to both of them (well, she's taken to the parents too), but she really enjoys the attention she gets from Adam and Alex. It seems though that she will favor one for a while and then the other for another period of time. After dinner was over they all played on the trampoline, swings, etc and we heard hardly a peep out of her because she was having so much fun with them. She was however right in the middle of the grownups when the cake came out!
