On to Turnberry

On July 27th, we officially said good-bye to our beloved Princess. Eight years and three new children and countless hours of cleaning, decorating, gardening, painting, reading, schooling, movie watching, playing, eating, cooking, reading, conversing, and dreaming made for an emotional move. We loved living on Princess!

And hello Turnberry. What a blessing!

What sweet memories we have from that long week end. Thank you, Holiskis, for coming and we can't wait until we can get together again!

Holiski's Visit Part One

The boys' biological sisters, Sophia and Dorea, and their parents came to visit July 8-13 this summer. It was SO awesome to see them! We have face timed, but not actually seen them since Uganda. Hooray for family visits!

We started out their Chattanooga visit with a trip to Rock City.

And then on to Coolidge Park.

And the next day, we hit the aquarium!

Wendy's for lunch of course!
