Hepu Reunion 2011

As we have for 8 consecutive years, we got together for the weekend with all the other families who adopted at the same as we did Cara-Li.  Nothing much has changed over the years.  The dynamics are still great, the bonds are still there and the girls are just as beautiful.  The only difference is that the girls have gotten bigger and the parents have gotten older :)  It's funny.  Every time we get together, the same stories are told and the same laughs are shared.  There is something about these families, they mean the world to me.  Not only did our children share the first part of their lives together but also these people were there with us, for us, clear across the world when we were alone with our new experiences as parents.  I will also remember each and every one of them :) 

 

Here we all are on our annual boat ride around the lake.
