Our yearly pilgrimage to Odell Lake with our dear friends. Every year we try and figure out just how many years we have been coming here together. We are pretty certain this was our 15th year.
From the mountains to the beach...a February trip to the beach with our Chinese students and Simon, Eva, Lydia and Solomon.
Solomon's birthday, and boy, was every minute a treat for him. It was a joy for all of us to see his every expression. He has never celebrated a birthday before and we were all humbled by his sweet, innocent pleasure. Solomon is such a treasure and a complete delight. He is the poster boy for older children adoption. Just do it!
And then there's our newest teenager. If all teenagers were so sweet you all would be so lucky. Eva is kind, gracious, never complaining and a fabulous big sister and daughter. I'm blessed to enter this new faze of young adulthood with her.
