While God chooses who our biological family will be, we have learned through adoption that family doesn't have to always mean a genetic link:) We have several people we consider family in northern Indiana and we truly love each and everyone of them! A couple of weeks ago we had the privilege of attending Morgan's open house and celebrating her high school graduation with she, her family and lots of friends! As Gabriella has older brothers, a mom and dad who are blessed with pretty flexible schedules, and she spent wonderful girl time with Beth and Emme during her first year, not to mention a set of over protective parents and grandparents, she hasn't really had a babysitter since she has been home. Well the two girls who you see pictured with Gabriella at the top have been her first two official babysitters...and boy does she love them!!! Morgan is the oldest of five and is awesome with Gabriella and she gets so excited when she is with her. Taylor, who is a cousin to Morgan, and is in her second year of nursing school, has also taken care of Gabriella a couple of times. Taylor is a college cheerleader and also teaches gymnastics so when I come home Gabriella is excited to show me new things she has learned from Taylor:) We are very blessed to have the girls and their families in our lives:) The photos of the boys are Daniel and Josh; who started kindergarten together 16 years ago and are still best buds to this very day! We consider Josh and his family part of our family and couldn't love them more! Jordan is also in a couple pics with Josh and Daniel as well:) We, along with Morgan and Josh's family and a couple of friends, for a total of 22 people are taking off for the beach next week and we are all looking very forward to some time away, plenty of laughter and some much needed R & R!!!!
