Becca and Preston's Visit

Becca and Preston came for a visit this past week.
We are honored that they would come to visit us with their vacation time.
Sami was so excited for her birth mom to come and she and Janie told everyone that her birth mom and her husband were coming. Two days before they came, Sami and Janie were announcing it to strangers in Wal-Mart. That's how excited we were.
 
 It was non-stop fun. Sami and Janie woke up ready to play. It was high-energy, I tell you.
 We went to Winter Quarters Visitors Center. I am always so humbled when I go to this temple and see the graves and names of all the pioneers who sacrificed so much here.
 Becca and Preston are so cute. I gotta say that I feel a bit protective of our birth moms. They have been through a lot and we love them for it. And it's so good to see Becca with such a good husband.  Preston is a gem and you can just tell how much he loves her. I am so glad they have each other.
 The girls got to get dressed like pioneer girls. It was so cute.


We did lots of fun things that I wish I had taken more pictures of, like going to the zoo and going to the park and lake.
I am so grateful for our birth moms. We are so blessed to have Becca and Preston in our lives. They feel like family. I wish all adoptive parents had that. It is a blessing for us to have them in our lives.

Precious moments you are making together! I remember Sami sharing her birth mom moments in Sunbeams - they are very important to her.
