our recover weekend

we were all exhausted headed into this weekend...

and, thankfully, we were able to set a lot of it aside to just BE.
be together.
play.
rest.

saturday morning we had soccer and baseball games.
grandmommy and granddad came to watch rebekah's soccer game which was very special!


then we headed home to pack our lunches and went to the farm!

we picked strawberries last weekend...but it wasn't easy.
well, this weekend was TOTALLY different!
it's amazing the difference a week makes!
the strawberries were HUGE, so red and there were SO many!



a little boys' heaven...a field full of things to eat AND dirt to play in and a tractor ride there and back!


the weather was perfect.
not cold, not hot, a little overcast...perfect strawberry picking weather!


after we picked...we played!




i see this face many times a day...it does along with something like,
"well, ok!"
or
"i don't think...."
you know...something she clearly knows WAY more about than i do!


i have to plug my shirt...it says "gutora" which mean "to choose" in Kinyarwandan (which is the language they speak in Rwanda)

another adoptive family is selling them to raise money for their adoption.
i LOVE it!

after a nice, rainy, restful sunday...the sun came out and we ended with a fresh bowl of guacamole and burgers and a diet coke (for me!)
it was a great weekend.

here's to a great week ahead!!!
and we have an added excitement as we watch our dossier makes it way to rwanda :-)
