Family Reunion

We had an exciting time last weekend - Two of Garin's half-sisters came to visit for the weekend! Ellie and her moms drove down from Pennsylvania while Lara and one of her moms flew in from Minnesota. Our friend Caitlin from North Carolina also came to visit and see everyone. It was great, but exhausting for everyone (multiple three year olds running wild can take the energy out of everyone).
We went to the beach and then played cards with Ellie . . .












Hit the Farmer's Market . . .












(the bounce slide was a big hit) . . .
















Enjoyed the hotel pool . . .












Hung out at the house a couple times . . .












And went to the playground with Lara . . .

The kids are starting to be old enough to understand their family structure and their donor connection to each other. It's interesting to be part of redefining what family means. We just feel a little bad for Junior II since s/he won't have all the peer siblings that Garin has. Hopefully s/he will enjoy having a flock of older siblings instead.

I see the resemblance! Are you getting excited about junior II?
 
O QUE EU DESEJO

Por: William Vicente Borges


Que na sua vida...
Tudo tenha a beleza das flores,
Que não falte a luz do luar,
Que os amigos sejam todos sinceros,
Que o mar nunca se agite, mas se agitar

que o barco nunca afunde.
Que os beija-flores visitem
todos os dias o seu jardim,
Que os passarinhos cantem em sua janela,
Que os sorrisos se multipliquem
em sua face.
Que a inspiração renasça
a cada manhã.
Que teus sonhos sejam realizados,
Que seus dias de semana, sejam como o domingo.
Que o mal não chegue a porta da casa.
Que a tua dispensa esteja sempre abarrotada.
Que teus olhos só contemplem bondade,
Que cada passo teu seja iluminado por Deus.
Que todas as manhãs te recebam com um sorriso.

É O QUE EU DESEJO
