LL especially LOVED the jumpy house thing.....She just laughed out loud the entire time she was on there.....
We took a little break at the bday party to chat with some people...and LL knew the routine...she handed me my camera to take her picture!! :) funny girl!!! Happy B-day Sweet "K"....your b-day party was amazing!!!****We then headed straight from the bday party to attend the April African Fellowship Group!! I LOVE this group of awesome families!! Just being around these people inspires me more than you could ever know!! The Fellowship Group for April was held at a local park...and I do believe everyone had a GREAT time!!!!
The food is always yummy!!! :)
I love watching everyone cutting up and having fun together...such a blessed sight!!!
Oh, the fun that was had on the twisty slide!!!
You have families in the WAIT for their child......
Others are HOME with their adopted children....It is so much fun to see all the families in different stages of the game TOGETHER!!!

LL was enjoying hanging with Momma at the food tables!!!
My JuJu and her buddy "R"!! Such cuties!!!
Oh, these two just love each other!!! It is just too cute to watch!!!
I had to get a couple of pics of the 3 little princesses present!! These 3 are all around the same age....too cute!!!
Ok, so yall help me here!!!!! These LAST 3 pics are of the sweetest thing I've ever seen!! This lady that was sitting at another table with a totally other group....and she couldn't speak English, but she came over and first gave me MONEY and told me she wanted to make a donation to my daughter!!! I insisted NO..that our adoption was over and she just insisted that I take the money....She then just hugged LL and CRIED and CRIED:
It had everyone crying sitting around us....but we were all left confused because we had no idea what was going on!!! I have no idea WHY she took to LL so much...but she singled her out from the other 100 Ethiopian children and just loved on her and CRIED and wanted to give her money!!!
I finally felt the need to step in and quit taking pics of this situation...She just thanked me and cried some more and walked away!!!
Wow, what a beautiful sight!!! We may not have spoken the same language, but LOVE has a universal language and it was EVIDENT here!! She seemed like a beautiful person and I just wish I KNEW WHY she was so emotional when seeing Lucy Lane!! ?? I guess I'll never know....Any thoughts??****So, are you ready to join this group yet?? Are you ready to take that leap of faith and give another beautiful child of God a home?? It really is simple....a child needs a family....and you have one!!! Simple as that...and if you still aren't convinced, go read my friend Andrea's latest post...it is so good: www.babeofmyheart.com :)
****Well that's it folks!!! Thanks to everyone for coming out today!! It was SO much fun and I can't wait till our next event together!!! You all are some awesome people to hang with!!! :)
Happy Sunday to you all, kj
