We had a great time at the
CWA reunion in North Carolina last weekend. It was so great to meet our
Kyrgyz bloggie friends - Gen, Andrea, Shea, Jamie, and Esther. We also got to reunite with the Estes family who we have not seen since we traveled to Kyrgyzstan to pick up our little ones. Here is a pic of their son Ben and
JJ giving
each other a high five.
This is a pic of
JJ and AP who were in the
Tokmok orphanage together.
JJ knocked her down shortly after the hug.
And this is one of our favorite little girls,
Aliya. Her family traveled with us on our journey to Kyrgyzstan.
After the
CWA picnic, we took my nephews to
Gatlinsburg, TN for a little vacation. So many people told me it was a tourist trap and I had no idea what that actually meant until we were there. We had fun anyway though. The boys seemed to enjoy themselves. Here is a pic of the boys and I in the garage before we left on our trek.
JJ loved having the big boys around. He wanted to be one of them so bad. The boys were taking their suitcases into the hotel and
JJ had to do what they were doing, so he began pulling his backpack behind him. The handle on his pack is broken though so it was hilarious to watch him pull his broken-handled bag everywhere he went.
