Visitors from a faraway land!

Yesterday, we had a visit from our friend and China travelmate, Alison, who is in town from Wyoming with her sweet girls, Kate and Sarah. The girls spent the whole day in the pool (of course, where else would they want to be?) and Alison and I had a nice visit while we watched them play. I am amazed how much Kate and Jaden have grown since that cold day in Hunan in 2004 when we first met them. I will never forget how excited Derek and I were for Mike and Alison as we watched them become first time parents on that trip and we've enjoyed watching their family grow and have adventures literally all over the world since then.

Thanks for coming over girls, we had fun and can't wait to see y'all again!
