"It
takes a long time to grow an old friend. "
~John Leonard
I'll admit, I had
one little selfish motive in mind when considering the idea of a
fall festival: the hope that we'd receive updated photos
from some of those first myadoptionwebsite families!
Every single family we work for is special to us . . . we're
honored each and every time an order arrives in the in-box.
But there will always be an extra-special something about those
first families who took a chance on us - - who entrusted us with
the job of keeping them connected with their loved ones back
home.
We'll
always be grateful!
One such mom is Julie, who made my day with her sweet email, a
photo of her gorgeous daughter Kamryn, and the delicious recipe
below. She learned this recipe in a class at Williams
Sonoma years ago. Thanks so very much, Julie - for
everything!I hope
you'll enjoy the photos of these first myadoptionwebsite
kids! Oh my, how they've grown!
