We ventured up to D.C. yesterday to hang out with friends of ours who had a long layover at Dulles. They were returning from Africa, where they met their baby daughter for the first time. What a treat to see Tim & Jo, especially after such a pivotal and life-changing trip for them. Seeing pictures of their adorable baby girl and hearing the account of their first sight of her brought tears to my eyes! I am so proud of my best friend and her husband as they follow God's leading into adoption. Now I just can't wait to meet my new "niece" when she comes home in a few weeks.
After an overnight flight from Ethiopia, Jo and Tim pushed through exhaustion and braved the humidity for a trip to the National Zoo with our family. We stayed long enough to say we'd done it and then headed out to what we all were craving--real Tex-Mex at Uncle Julio's! Yum, yum, and more yum. Here we are at the zoo:
That performance was a few years after we sang "Friends are Friends Forever" in duet and started laughing when we messed up the words. I can't believe they let us on that stage ever again!!
Love you, Jo, and hope your jet-lag ends quickly!
