Don't I know you???...

Hadley and Matt meet again
All seven children around the dinner table. Four Eddins and three Willards...oh my...
this is what the 'Brady Bunch' must have been like at meal time!
We found out that Matt has surpressed his desire to become a musician!
...and Hadley wants to be a cowgirl when she grows up!
The Eddins and Willard Children - what a beautiful group!
(L to R) Gracie, Alex, Sam Willard, Cole, Hadley, Matt and Sam Eddins
Our adoption journey to China for precious Matt and Alex was a blessing in so many ways. In the process of adopting our sweet boys, we met so many people who became our friends. We were thrilled to learn that another family that lives close by was adopting an adorable little girl, named Hadley, who was in the same orphanage with Matt and Alex. Hadley and Matt knew one another at the orphanage and were in the same school classroom. What are the chances that two families in the same city would adopt children the same age, that are in the same orphanage, at the same time??? We do not believe it was chance that brought us together but that it was an amazing gift from God to be able to share the adoption experience with the Eddins family.
Well we finally got the kids together over the holidays so that they could get reacquainted. The adults were a bit nervous yet in true child-like fashion...the kids saw one another and then immediately went to play...it was no big deal...Enjoy some pictures from our time together with the wonderful Eddins Family!
