End-of-Summer Visit to Texas

August 3-6 Brycie took Marina, Drake, Drew & Clare to Georgetown, Texas, to visit Meme.

On Tuesday, one of Clare's best friends from China, Sarah Chang, came up from Houston with her mom and two sisters and met us at the Main Event for bowling and pizza. Clare and Sarah hugged each other and smiled but didn't interact too much. Who knows what's going on in those little minds of theirs?!?! We will keep them connected, and hopefully they will choose to be lifelong friends. Our wonderful adoption agency, Great Wall China Adoption, is located in Austin, so we went with Sarah's family to visit the fabulous staff who helped us adopt our girls.

On Wednesday, we went to visit Meme's boyfriend Gary who lives on the shores of Lake Travis.

We had a great time!!
