Good Friends and Good Times!

Last night a good time was had by all. We had the privilege of meeting to great couples who are also adopting from here! It was such a blessing that we were all here at the same time! That certainly had to have been Gods perfect timing! You might have read their blogs already as we have been following both their journeys for quite some time: Jeff and Debbie and Ryan and Jennifer .

Jeff and Debbie were in their final journey of adopting two beautiful children (siblings) Kasia 6 and Bartek 11. They are great kids and took their first plan ride to Colorado today to their new home! Ryan and Jennifer are adopting a darling little girl named Klaudia who is only 3 days younger than BJ. We of course photographed their first meeting as it was quite cute! She is so timid and dainty and BJ is "in your face." They both did very well and we can't wait to get them together again!

After we met, we all went into Old Town square and ate some authentic Polish food (who new Black sausage was liver filled? Yuke! BJ loved it! YUM!) We also stopped and had some very good lody (ice cream)! On the way out we stopped by Jeff and Debbie's apartment as they were giving out the last of their groceries since they were leaving today. I was sad to see them go as we just met! But we already have plans in the making for visits! Their boy, Bartek, loved BJ (Bartek) and played with him for quite some time! We have the two pictured below! In all, we really had a great time and plan to see Jennifer, Ryan and Klaudia again tomorrow! Enjoy the slide show below. We have included pictures of Old Town and the group. Also, don't forget to look further! I posted twice today!
