I changed the format of this blog a few months ago, from just posting random things to posting things that bring beauty and joy into my life. I couldn't do that without sharing a little about our little friend Winnie. Winnie's mom and dad adopted her from Ethiopia several months ago and I have absolutely loved getting to know this kid. It's been so amazing to watch her mom and dad go through the adoption process and see their family grow, and to be able to share in that a little bit. It's such a bright spot in my week to go over to their house for small group on Wednesday evenings and have her greet us with "Laura! Keith!" (it actually sounds more like "Lura! Keet!" and I love it!). Winnie hugs are some of the best hugs - medicine for my soul.
We got to spend a week at the beach with some of our good friends, including Winnie. So much fun on the beach and catching crabs and playing in the pool... I even got to show her how to use a boogie board a little bit.
Here she is playing peek-a-boo with me at Williamsburg:
modeling the dress I made for her...who wouldn't love that smile??
