Uncle Peanut was right when he told Brayden that he might get a girlfriend today. Miss Sophia was hugging and kissing on my boy :)
It was so awesome to get to meet these families in person. AND let me tell you, these children are so adorable!!! Sophia was Miss Personality - she immediately ran over and wanted to play with Parker. She was very sweet, and she was extremely smart! I think she had the vocabulary of a 4 year old! Sophia is truly a beautiful girl. Alex, my man Alex - he is gorgeous! I cannot believe that he is only 13 months old b/c he was running around just like the bigger kids. I really mean running, too - that guy is fast! He looks all grown up with his new haircut, but he still has some curls in the back . . . I love curls!
Unfortunately, this year I did not get a picture of Brayden with Cinthya (our attorney for his case). I love that woman. . . I really believe that she is the real deal. When she saw us come in, she immediately popped up out of her seat and came over with open arms saying, "Briiiden, Briiiden!" (LOL, we found out before that they don't do that "aaay" sound in Guatemala) She had not seen us since the brunch last summer, but she remembered us and her first questions were about Brayden's surgery. . . that is love, people. I had a wonderful conversation with her, and she brought me to tears. I am so, so happy that we got to see her today, and I hope that we will get to see her when we are in Guatemala again!
After the brunch, we went by Jennifer's house to see how the Adoption Fundraiser Yard Sale was going. Again - I am a slacker blogger b/c I took no pictures!!! Oh, well, maybe next time!
I just want to point out that I worked through my "touching issue" today - because I hugged Kim, Cinthya, and Jennifer :) Three people in one day - am I friendly or what?

It was SO wonderful to see you guys today!!! At least you almost got a picture of the three of them together!! :)
(and thanks for the hug) ;)
Sounds like a great day. NEVER leave home without all camera parts.
I just picked up a new set of rechargeables at Wal-Mart and they hold the charge really well. I should learn from this and keep 2 in my purse or camera case. Brayden can have other girlfriends now, but he'll have to give Addy a chance in 15 years or so. :)
Krystal,
I love this post! Maybe next year, Abbie and I will be at the reunion too! I am glad to read all of your wonderful comments about Cinthya since she is handling Abbie's case!
Congrats on the new addition!!
Love and prayers,
Karen
Too funny-how many blogger mom's does it take to get some pictures? apparently more than three :) Of course, I'd be too busy staring at all the gorgeous children.
I am glad you all had a great time!!
