A Friday of Fun

Monday, February 23, 2009

So, Friday was a fun day! En route to a family wedding, we got to stop by and see Bethany's birth mother and her husband. We hadn't seen them for almost a year, so it had been too long! We were so excited to visit and we had a GREAT time. It was so fun to see the similarities between Bethany and her beautiful birth mom. Below are some fun pics from that day.

I actually got some great pictures of Bethany with her birth mom, but didn't feel I should post them without permission from her! But it was sooooooooooo great to see her--what a blessing she is to us in our lives! (Her husband is great, too, and it was fun to get to know him better.)

After our visit, we went to the wedding luncheon where we sort of dined on Filipino food. I say, "Sort of" because we were so busy chasing Bethany around the cultural hall of the church, we didn't get a lot of chow time. My aunt told me that the only thing a mother eats warm for dinner is ice cream, and I think she's nailed that one on the head! Julie, likewise, spent her lunch chasing Lizzy around. And here is a shot of the two little cousins on the trip home:



All Worn Out:





Us moms were worn out, too, but not as cute at this point in the trip so there will be NO pictures of us. All in all, it was a really fun trip--a very long day, but well worth it! And thank you to Veggie Tales for getting us down the road happily with two little toddlers! And congrats to my cousin Whitney and his new bride--may your married life be bliss!
