Wedding and Get Togethers


















































We have been super busy the past few days. On Thursday we were fortunate enough to get together with our adoption agency from Delylah's adoption and the other Illien families. It was a great night and I actually enjoyed an Ethiopian dinner (food wise) for the first time. The girls had a blast playing with the other kids and it was great getting to meet some people for the first time and seeing old friends. It is a blessing that so many families are so near that have also experienced an adoption from Ethiopia. I wish there were more local Vietnamese families and right now with the shut down it does not look like there will be many more families in our area any time soon.

Secondly we had a wedding yesterday and Lennah was the flower girl or at least supposed to be the flower girl. Friday night we went to the rehearsal dinner and Lennah did a great job of walking down the aisle so I assumed all would go off without a hitch last night. Well, Lennah skipped her nap and that made her cranky and super tired from all the excitement the past few days. She started crying when it was time to make her grand appearance and mommy had to come and at least try to save the day. Well needless to say she never walked the aisle and I missed the whole ceremony at one of my best friend's weddings. Ahhh the joys of the terrible twos. All was not a total loss because Lennah looked absolutely adorable and everyone loved seeing her all dressed up. Since she was so tired she didn't even make it through dinner and feel asleep through the whole reception.

I can't believe how big the girls are getting. Lennah looks so much older in that beautiful dress.
Take care,
