A Visit From Friends

One of the most exciting things that happened this weekend was a little visit we received from the Martin family, who also adopted from Kyrgyzstan and who happened to travel with us when we went to pick our babies up! They actually live in South Carolina, but have family living in Indiana and Pennsylvania. They were on their way to Indiana and called us to come meet them off of the Ohio turnpike. It was so wonderful to see them again. They have 5 kids!!! Oh, the energy! I talk to Esther Martin on the phone every few weeks and it was so nice to get to sit and chat face-to-face. Their daughter, Aliya, is growing just as fast as JJ and is gorgeous. Their older children were so excited to see snow, but were definitely not used to the cold!
Here are a few pics from our visit...

JJ saying goodbye to the kids before they hit the road



JJ being a little too aggressive with that sweet Aliya.
You can't see her face, but he did make her cry :(

I love it when families get together! I pray all is well with you and that God blesses you with bio children as he has with JJ. He is one gorgeous boy!
