Splishin' and splashin'....

 that pretty much sums up what we have done for the past three days!

 Add in a little baseball and a little tennis.....

 and a little r & r....

 plus a picnic with some very special friends.....

 and our weekend was a success!  

I must say my favorite part, aside from spending time with my husband and children, was during our adoption gathering when one little girl shouted to the rest of the children, "Hey, guys, time for a family picture!!!"  Such sweet words.  Our families have all bonded together over the last four years and it does feel like family when we are all gathered under one roof.  (And the children know, too, that no one leaves without a "family" photo!)
