Beach time!!

Wow, I didn't realize I haven't posted here since February!  Where has the time gone?  Oh yeah, doctor  and therapist appointments, but that's not what this post is about.  Maybe I'll post on the other stuff soon, just processing it.

We all needed some getaway R&R.  We left the house and animals in capable hands and headed to one of our favorite beach spots--Sandestin.  We are blessed this trip to be able to spend time with 2 special families.  Today we got to see Dawn and her family.  We have been friends since we adopted our first daughters about the same time 6+ years ago.  We unexpectedly found that they were staying 45 minutes from us and they came play on the beach today.  We got to meet Levi and they got to meet Eliana.  

Here are some pictures from our first night and our reunion:

These 2 are the sweetest of sisters...

Shaoey is such a beach princess--she adores it!

All the China kids--Levi, Bekah, Shaoey (she's not really that short, she's standing in a hole), Grace, Leah, and Eliana

Connor volunteered to be buried and they jumped at the chance.

Special moments

Shaoey looks like she belongs on a beach in Hawaii riding the waves!

Sweet Gracie was wiped out!
