Sunday we left for a short trip down to Ft. Worth to see Michael's parents and some of his siblings. Michael's parents had put their house on the market in hopes of moving soon to Albuquerque, so we wanted to make sure to see them again while they were still just a short drive away. Before we left on Thursday they gave us the "good" news that, for several reasons, they have postponed their move indefinitely. Though I know Jim would like a geographical change, selfishly I'm glad they will be staying closer to us. The kids love seeing their other Papa and Nana - and all the cousins.
We hit some local tourist attractions this time. This is Sarah with her cousin Katie at the
Dallas World Aquarium. Michael took Katie's brothers to
Hurricane Harbor and my SIL DeAnn came with me. It was the prettiest aquarium I've been too, but I'm not sure aquarium is the appropriate name for this place. Unless the word aquarium conjures up images of monkeys, jungle, and waterfalls. It was a beautiful mix of rain forrest animals, vegetation, and sea life.
Before we left for Texas,
Natasha gave Andrew his first big boy haircut. He was so cute and sweet all week and had a great time at Nana and Papa's house. Just look at those eyes!!
Sarah and I were even able to have a super fun play date at the
Children's Museum with Mandy, her daughter Anna,
Kelly, and her daughter Lucy. Anna and Sarah are both from Ninh Thuan and were at the orphanage at the same time. Mandy and I "knew" each other through our agency's forum, but met for the first time at heritage camp in June. Mandy and Kelly met when they re-finalized their adoptions and have become really good friends. I think it is fantastic how adoption has caused paths to cross and created friendships that otherwise would not have been formed.
Sarah, pleased with her distorted image.
Here are the three girls pushing Anna's older brother. Do you notice that they are all nearly the same height, yet the ages of the girls are 2, 3, and (almost)4. I thought that was pretty funny.
These two little guys are 7 days apart in age. I always enjoy getting a new picture of Dalton and Andrew together and comparing it to the previous ones.
Sarah and her cousin Mattison also had a great time playing together. The girls are about a month or so apart in age.
