New Friends

The kids. Each one as cute as the next!
The Moms. Girls night out at a fab Mexican restaurant in the city.


I joined a local group of adoptive parents many months ago. Finally had the time, energy, and will to leave the house long enough to not only meet them but join them for a Mom's Night Out. What a blast!
A few days before we went to their group picnic and got to meet all the kids with their moms and dads. Such a nice group of people. Most of the kids are from China and a few are from Ethiopia. Not everyone was there that day but we got to meet most. Such a nice time. A few of the Moms took photography classes and are REALLY good. Here are a few shots they took of Ruby:
My favorite. Compliments of Deb Coons McGuigan.
My other favorite. :-) Compliments of Jen Miles.
Loving the slide.

So nice to make new friends and be welcomed into this very nice group. Another member of the group (not pictured) is going to shoot Ruby, Jeff & I in a few weeks down at the shore. Can't wait!

Sounds like a fun group. We haven't been to our adoption group in over a year. Seeing this fun clan reminds me that we need to get back into the swing of it.

Can't wait to see how the photo shoot turns out.

These pictures are great...Ruby is becoming a little girl and growing up. She is so beautiful. Glad life is treating you well.

Absolutely gorgeous!!!! Hey, how are you all now? Ear tubes - are talking about the little things they insert into the ear drum? It has a little hole in the middle and looks like a tiny cotton reel? We call these 'gromets'. It releases preasure and also liquid can drain out of the ear easily.
Ruby is so brave and Mama is so brave too! Love to you all xx

I love her outfit. I tried to go on Gymboree.com to order one for our next child but they are all sold out 8-( Hopefully they have something just as cute for next year.
