Sweet Moments

It keeps me going.
 
 
These reunions.
 

 
I come away renewed.

 
Restored.
 
 
Reminded.
 
 
Encouraged.
 
 
What we do matters.
 
 
Orphans in families.
 

 
That's what this is all about.
 
 
Finding Mamas and Papas.
 


 
From abandoned to adopted.
 

 
Sweet moments like these...
 
 
 
Make all the time spent blogging and yelling worth it!

Fabulous Families

I want you to see them....
 
 
These families who have adopted...
 
 
So many of them you have supported...
 
Encouraged....

 
Donated to so they could bring their treasures home!

 
These are but a few of the many many families who came this week.
 
 
Seeing them with their kids made me cry.
 
 
And laugh...
 
 
And cry some more...
 

 
They are fabulous!!
 
 
Whether they adopted one...
 
 
Or many...

 
Each family...
 
 
They get a Standing Ovation from Me!!

 
Meeting each one.  Hugging each mom.  Each dad.
 
 
 
Holding their kids...
 
Priceless!!

Tuesday Frolics

 
Tuesday morning found us gathering at the pavilion for a group photo..
 
 
I wish I could say I got an amazing picture with everyone in it ...
 
 


 



 
The lighting was hard ...
 
But this was everyone who showed up for the picture... NOT everyone who was there at the campgrounds... OR everyone who camped this week...
 

 
 
 
The Dads!!
 
 
The Moms!!
 
 
The Treasures!
