We started out the month with a wonderful Cinco de Mayo / Immigration party at our friends Maria and Denny’s. We enjoyed making delicious tamales, and Adrianna enjoyed the attention as she made friends with everyone. We even got to take a few swings at the piñata and Adrianna’s overalls came in very handy as Denny helped her to load up with candy. Adrianna got to sit on a horse, which was very exciting for a moment-- then she wanted off. Adrianna also enjoyed riding in the canoe as we relaxed on their pond. It was a wonderful way to celebrate.
We enjoyed a wonderful Mother's day, it was Sarah's first as a mother to Adrianna. I cooked up a delicious steak dinner and we reflected on how long we anxiously waited for Adrianna to join our family.
Sarah and Adrianna found time to enjoy the Zoo with Tracey and Amelia. Adrianna loved all the animals –even though she calls all animals “puppy”! Though she will give the correct sign for some of the animals and tried to teach those near by the sign as well!
Sarah has also been enjoying Wednesday institute class (church class) taught by Sister Thornley. Sister Thornley is a wonderful teacher who shares her love of the gospel and gives great insight to the scriptures for all who attend! She was a dear friend of Sarah’s mom and often shares great memories of her mom with Sarah! Adrianna gets to play with new friends in the nursery there.
We held a Families Supporting Adoption (FSA) Bar-b-q at our house. We enjoyed having several families over to celebrate the blessings adoption has brought us. Everyone had wonderful stories that we enjoyed sharing. It was great to get together with dear friends as well as meet new ones!
To finish the month, we made a trek to Arizona for Memorial Day which we spent with Sarah’s uncle and family. We got to meet the newest baby cousins and we enjoyed swimming in the beautiful pool to escape the Arizona heat (which to our surprise was not that bad). Aunt Rocky taught Adrianna how to kick in the water, but her favorite was riding Shamu around the pool. We had a great time as we enjoyed some delicious Mexican cooking great hospitality and a lot of fun with everyone there.
Enjoy the pictures!
Joseph, Sarah & Adrianna
