CCI Reunion

This year's reunion was held in Nashville and it was the first one our family attended. We were so excited to finally meet a lot of the families we have gotten to "know" through our yahoo group and blogs, and we were excited to be around families like our own. And we were even more excited about spending the weekend with some of our best friends, the Stanley family.

We got there Friday night, had dinner and then the kids did a lot of swimming at the hotel.

The reunion started at an Ethiopian restaurant. I didn't get a lot of pictures at the restaurant, it was so crowded and we were all catching up with each other, but here are a bunch of the big brothers.

And here's one of Eva and one of the restaurant owner's son. They were too cute running around and playing with each other.

That evening we all met up again for dinner. This is Julie, Sue's daughter. Sue, Julie and Julie's friend Christy escorted Eva home. We were so excited for them to see Eva a year later, and they were just as anxious to see her. So Sweet!

Our amazing director Sue. There are no words to describe how thankful we are for Sue and all the amazing work she does for the orphans in Ethiopia.

Beautiful girls!

The big reunion event was held at Sodium on Sunday afternoon. It was a huge rec center and the kids had a blast playing while the parents got to share stories. I took a ton of pictures!

Some of the AMAZING moms I've gotten close to. We are so thankful for the new friends we've made through adoption.

The handsome Stanley boys.
