Winter Retreat

This past weekend, we got to enjoy our winter retreat with our teens at church and some other teens from around the area.  The retreat was at a camp about 1 1/2 hour away from our home.  Dave and the group headed down on Friday night and since they weren't going to be getting there until right around N's bedtime, we decided it would be best for N and I to head down Saturday morning.  

Last year, we had no idea that our world was getting ready to change big time.  I remember talking to my good friend, Jenny, about our journey and how it could be a while before we ever adopted.  While at that time we knew about the March baby that would be N, we were playing the waiting game.  God had some great plans in store for us.  

Here are the pictures I took this year. Last year, I had over 500 pictures and this year, I don't have that many and most of those that I do have seem to have a certain little man in them.  How life changes!!!

N is so loved!

Love from Aunt Jenny.  

Daddy and TW playing games with the teens.  

He loves his Aunt Jenny and his Rachael.  

During the games that night, he was hanging out with Robin.  He must have been tired because he fell asleep while sitting up in her lap.  After a while, she put him in his stroller.  Sooo sweet.  

Hannah and Robin being silly.

Sunday morning message from TW.  

N decided to "take care of business" while Uncle TW was talking.

So thankful for a weekend with our teens, with our friends, and at a camp that allows N and I to stay in our own private cabin.  :)
