We had a 6 hour layover in Atlanta on Sunday on our way out, and we made plans to meet up with Brandi, Clay & Evan. Evan was in the same BH as Skip, and our families became virtual friends during our waits to bring the boys home in 2003/2004. Evan is a few months younger than Skip, and came home at about the same age. They have come to know each other though our blogs, and Skip will often see his picture and say "That's my friend Evan. He was born in Angarsk like me". Well on Sunday the boys met again after more than 4 years. They were SO cute together and instant buddies. Evan is a little doll, with the cutest smile and Southern accent! Finally meeting them all in person was such fun! They are the nicest family you'll ever meet. The boys are going to try and emailing each other, and are already talking about a visit to GA when Harry comes home. We feel so grateful for having made such special friends though this adoption journey!
Oh how NEAT!! What a great thing to be able to do!
ReplyDeleteSkip,
ReplyDeleteI had fun playing with you at the airport. Tell the people that took care of me that I said, Hello.
Your Friend, Evan
Mike, Judy & Skip,
It was wonderful to meet you guys yesterday. It was so nice to finally meet in person though I feel like we had already met. We are praying for you guys and can't wait to meet you at the airport again...WITH HARRY!
Safe Travels,
Brandi (& Clay)
