I had a lovely time with my Mom and brother last weekend. It's so nice to to spend time with family and be surrounded by their love. We spent the day on Saturday taking in some of the sights in our charming city - including the Nelson Atkins Art Museum. There was a photography exhibit about the early days of Egyptian exploration that I wanted to see before it was done and then we also got to view the new permanent Egyptian exhibit. My Mom hasn't been to the Nelson yet during her visits here and it turns out she's a lot like me in thinking the building is just as impressive as the art inside it. I think I also got my interest in Egypt from her if the truth was known!
Then we met up with my brother and took in the movie "Despicable Me" in 3D. It was such a cute flick - love those little minions! And it of course has an adoption theme which is such a fun thing about my life right now. There are so many songs, movies, bible verses, and books that remind me about the joy of this process and before we got started I think I might have totally overlooked them. Now I get to experience these moments with the joy and anticipation of someone who at least partially understands the journey.

This is fantastic, you guys! Some special child will be SO LUCKY or really, SO BLESSED to have you as parents! I cannot wait to see how God is working in your lives. Your letter to the birth parents made me cry. So heartwrenching, and beautiful. I know the feelings you shared. I can remember those days when I was younger and unable to have children anymore... (tears) Anyway... Oh, and I also loved seeing my sweet Lily Pad in your pictures! Lovely...
