Friends Are Presents We Give Each Other


Thank goodness for friends who can help us, support us, spend time with us and just be a blessing! My online friend Chrissie has given me "expert" advice on this blogging! She is also in the process of adopting from China. I'm so excited for her and Chris . . . you can follow her journey by clicking on her blog, the Estok Journey.

Way back when Kevin & I were celebrating our 5 year wedding anniversary,
we went on a cruise. On that cruise, we became friends with honeymooners, Valerie & Scott. We are still friends today, ten years later! They live in Arkansas so over the years we've planned midway trips to St. Louis and have traveled to each other's homes. Over this past weekend, they drove 1o hours one way just to meet the newest addition in our family. Kamryn was instantly drawn to Scott and giggled the whole weekend. It was so much fun to just hang out.

Kamryn is quite the hugger these days. She especially loves to hug her brothers! They love it when she shows them some attention too. She will also give hugs to anyone she likes. Needless to say, Scott got lots of hugs this past weekend too!
