So I was so blessed to spend some time connecting with some wonderful ladies and their sweet kids this morning.
There are two women in the Denver area whose blogs I've read for awhile now, and who I've emailed with, even before I knew we were moving here to Denver. They both have children from Ethiopia (one is waiting to bring hers home!) and so this morning we got together, along with Janee, another mom who is passionate about so many of the same things and who will start the adoption process sometime soon. It was really fun meeting up with people I've only "known" online!
Angela, Jennifer and Janee were so wonderful and I can't wait to hang out again! My kids had a blast too. (Random small world connection for you Lisa--Jennifer won one of your hand-stamped necklaces once! So we talked about you today, and it made me miss you. :) )

I'm a Catholic mama to eight kids ages 9 and under, and wife to one great guy. I'm a lover of Jesus, great books, ethnic food, and thrifting. I am pro-life and pro-adoption. Loving Denver. Missing California. Most days are a whirlwind of babies and sweeping and joy in the little things. In spite of good intentions, I am rarely anywhere on time. Here you can follow my journey to just show up and be present in each and every crumb-filled moment.

so glad that you have some friends already. how wonderful is that? and if that new church of yours isn't using Bibles--are you sure it's an okay church? i mean, i thought that if I brought my Bible to church, it was like extra credit or something. better check on it :) ha, ha. it's so great to hear that you can go and take kevin to the park for lunch! can't wait to see more pics of the house.
i'm so glad you are connecting with some friends, especially ones that you have so much in common with. how awesome for your kids!!
Hi Brianna, It's Wendy - mom to 5! year old Wodajo from Ethiopia. I'm so glad you all made it to Denver safely and (selfishly) that you are up blogging again. I loved your Mothers Day blog about praying for the boy's mom. We aren't very connected to an Ethiopian community here in Winston and I really miss that. (We moved here from Atlanta which has a large ET community.)
i'm loving that you're so regular with blogging again! sorry i haven't commented in so long - i'm just lame that way - but we miss you here!
oh, you are so sweet. I am so thrilled that you are here and so so happy to have you as a new friend! Can't wait to see you again!
Angela
