August Endings

As I recall the end of August it seemed to be all about celebration. After a day of commemorating my dad's 35 years (as noted in the previous post), the following day we celebrated my mother in-law's birthday by all going out to dinner at a local favorite Mexican restaurant.

The next day, we spent celebrating Christina's 22nd birthday at our local beach. We enjoyed meeting many of Christina's family and munching on delicious foods.

The weekend ended celebrating and supporting adoption. My friends Brian and Lanisa came down to help put on an adoption awareness concert (as they have now adopted two children from China) in honor of our mutual friends, who are in the process of adoption. Lanisa is a beautifully gifted singer who shared not only her talent, but her adoption journey. As always, it was great to see Lanisa and family, and support our friends in their adoption as well.
