On Friday morning, before the kids were awake, EJ and I hit the road. Thanks to my accommodating and kindhearted parents, we were able to go (away) to an amazing 2 day conference for adoptive and foster parents and/or professionals.

Even though sitting in chairs for 7 hrs had it's challenges, we limped walked away with some great insight into connecting with a child from a hard place. We also recognized plenty of our own personal quirks and nudged each other a lot about our boys too ;) We still have plenty to learn and A LOT of practice ahead of us, but we are thankful for these new resources to help us.
At the end of the conference, most of the speakers came forward for some final comments. The crowd did not want it to end. Amazing, right!

I loved having so much quiet time with EJ during our car rides. We enjoyed lunch with Jill and MBM. I didn't get enough time with Courtney, will have to wait til Nov. for that.
EJ and I had the privilege of staying with my cousin Daniel and his wife Jessica and eating dinner out with them with no kids to interrupt us!
My parents survived! Hopefully they are recovering nicely today ;) THANKS AGAIN!
