Last weekend was our adoption agency's reunion party. It was held at Forest Park in Noblesville. We had a blast even though I had perpetual sweat dripping down my lower back. There were shelter houses set up for the different countries: Ethiopia, Guatemala, Russia, Vietnam and China. It really warmed my heart to see all of these beautiful children from such diverse countries represented, and they all played so well together. When we first got there I could see the gears turning in Quinn's head as she saw all these little (and big) people that looked like her. She grinned from ear to ear. She had a great day and was very outgoing and social. The best part was that we were able to see the Macler family. Their daughter and Quinn were in the same orphanage together and their cribs were diagonal from each other. I call them "cribmates" even though they didn't actually share a crib. That's pretty darn close though. The amazing thing to me is that of all the places in the world those two little girls could have ended up, they both landed right here in Indiana within 50 minutes of each other! I hope they will always keep in touch. They are such a great family!

Here are pictures of our day.....
