India Heritage Weekend
okay, i was finally able to upload all the wonderful pics from last weekend!
what a weekend it was! dustin, mia and i headed for tulsa on friday afternoon and were able to meet up with nadra, charlie and ian for dinner. it was great to finally get the kiddos together! mia really enjoyed flashing her frown/attitude face at everyone! she's just practicing for those teenage years! we didn't get to spend as much time with nadra, charlie and ian as we would have liked but it was a very crazy weekend. we do plan to visit tulsa quite often so there will be many more get-togethers with the conners.
india heritage camp was wonderful! dustin and i didn't sign up for any workshops so we ended up working in the nursery. that gave us plenty of time to see ian and mia play together. ian is such a happy kid! i think he smiled and giggled the entire time! i really enjoyed the time i spend with him. while dustin and i were in the nursery we were able to sneak a peak at some of the activities they had for the kids. there was a workshop were the kids could learn to play indian music, cook indian food and even learn to paint henna on their hands and arms.
one of the great things about this weekend was that ms. roy, the director of isrc, was attending the camp. we were able to visit with her and tell her how much we were in love with ms. mia. it was just 2 1/2 months ago that ms. roy introduced us to mia.
after the camp we headed to broken arrow (right outside of tulsa). mark, shelly and their son kyle live in broken arrow. my other cousin, brian, just moved to broken arrow with his wife, brooke and their two sons, sy and harry, so we thought it would be a good time to get all of the kids together. we had a great time! mia was very tired, but she did very well. we hope to have many more cousin (or second-cousin) reunions!
dustin and i had the opportunity to meet grace. she and her husband are waiting to pick up their beautiful little girl, jadyn. grace and shane have run into a pretty big snag in the courts in india and if you guys could keep them in your prayers, please do. we look forward to the day when they have their little girl in their arms. maybe ian and mia will have a new little playmate!
