Tanek and Valerie

 This weekend we visited with Julie, Keith, and Valerie Wimmer. We had such a nice time relaxing and catching up with each other. It's hard to believe Valerie and Tanek haven't seen each other for 3 years! As soon as they got together, it was like they were best friends, and they had tons of fun playing together nonstop! It was hard to get them to go to sleep at night, but once they finally did...they crashed. They had a blast swimming...

 and watching Tanek play wii (and explain everything Star Wars)...

 Watching movies together - "Kung Fu Panda" and "Bolt"...

 Hanging out after swimming before it was time to say goodbye

 It was hard for them to say goodbye because they were having so much fun, but sneaking in a few kisses always seems to help!

More fun swimming!

It doesn't matter how long it has been since we've seen each other, when our families get together we just pick up right where we left off... a sign of true friendship! We are very blessed to get along so well and have these opportunities for Valerie and Tanek to keep in touch. Hopefully they will always have a special bond from living together as infants in the orphanage.We will have to try hard not to let 3 more years go by before we all get together again!
