Visiting an old friend

 We were so lucky that the first day of our trip was spent with a friend of Terefech's from Ethiopia.  B's mom and I often email about the girls and the boys in our life.  We have kids the same ages so it has been a great support to have someone in your shoes to talk to. We hadn't actually met before we arrived in Florida so we all chatted about how nervous we were on the way to their house.  We didn't need to worry because the kids got along beautifully and played together without much of a problem all day.  I am excited that they enjoyed each other and made a connection.  The girls share some of the same losses and I hope one day that their connection through the years will bring them a connection to Ethiopia.  

 Terefech's gift was a matching outfit!

We ended our day driving to Port Canaveral to meet Kings and Magnusons in preparation for the rest of our trip. We headed out for some yummy seafood by the ocean.  The kids are so excited for each day!

That picture of the girls together made me cry. Are they the same age?

They are about 7 months apart.
