Friends and Family


Happy Easter! Jesus is risen, and we find so much hope in that reality.

What a fun week we've had! My good friend from college, Stephanie, came for a visit with two of her four lovely girls last Friday. The kids played so well together....and as you can see, H and Audrey really hit it off!:) This happy little couple could tie the knot in about 20 years or so.
Thursday brought Chad's sister, Heather, niece Alea, and Gram and Papa. It was fun to share Easter weekend with them.
Okay, because I'm bad at rearranging photos, here are Stephanie's kids with mine.

H had a beautiful new dress to wear for Easter, and she really enjoyed the egg hunt at church.
Below is C with friend, Sophie. What a good friend she was to share her Easter basket with C! They looked so cute as they ran along carrying the basket together.

Also with us for the day were my sister, Ellen, and her family, sister Meg and husband, Mom and Dad, and Grandma Spore. They all made it in time for church, and it was fun to have them there for our special Easter choir production. Below is Ellen's growing family.


No news on the adoption front. We only know our dossier is at the embassy and could quite possibly make it to Rwanda by May 1!

Hi Heidi,
I've been reading your blog since my husband and I are contemplating adoption ourselves. We are looking at Rwanda with AWAA, and have four precious ones at home already, like you. We are trying to decide several things that you have already decided (one or two, boy or girl!) and I would love your input. Would you be willing to write me? My email is vaughajf@musc.edu

Thanks so much,
Regan

Your kids are growing up so fast!! They are all so precious. Seeing them just makes me smile! We sure wish we could have been around for church on Easter morning. Sounds like everyone had a great time! Have a wonderful spring!

It was fun to see you guys and the rest of the fam at Easter! Lately it feels like I see you guys more than Ellen and fam....even though we live closer. Bummer!
God bless!
