PICNIC FUN









While we were in Texas Rahill and her family came to see us. It was so wonderful seeing her and her amazingly wonderful family again. I was lucky enough to have Rahilla and her family in my travel group and fell in love with them when we were in China. There generosity and beautiful spirit was evident then. Rahillas daughter Evelyn and Emilee came from the same orphanage and were crib mates together. It was wonderful to see the two girls together again. Evy has grown into a beautiful, independent, spunky toddler. She has quite the personality and sense of humor. We were equally as happy to see her big sister Miriam. Miriam is such a little lady with an old soul. She is charming and bright and a truly wonderful big sister. Rahilla and her husband were wonderful enough to bring a grand and delicious spread for our picnic. Thanks again for everything. I look forward to seeing them again and watching our children grow into beautiful, independent ladies.


Anyone who knows Emilee will be amazed at the above photo. When we first returned home from China my bothers dog got very excited to see her and jumped on her. Since then she has been afraid of dogs. After being at the Lewis house for one day Emilee fell in love with Sofie. As you Can see Sofie is just as special as her owners.
The building blocks to a great friendship
