Visit with the Murray Family

Our friends we met in Ethiopia when we were adopting Jacob and they were adopting Sam came to our hotel today. We went swimming and they brought some yummy donuts to share. They kids all had a blast and Isaiah asked if we could get together again next weekend. We so would if they weren't three hours away. We love the Murrays!!

First Real Haircuts

Jacob and Kaleb got their first real haircuts today. It was hard for me to make the appointment, but glad we did it. Jacob loved it, Kaleb not so much.
