ures; it was lots of fun. That post will be only pictures. I wish I could figure out a way to caption the pictures...if anyone knows how to do that, please send me a note!!!Every time we have a family reunion, we put together a "time capsule" of things that represent 
memories of our time at the reunion. Folks also voluntarily (or non-voluntarily) write a bit about their memories as well. Then at the next reunion, we open it and go through it. We've previously buried it at Gma and Gpa's lakehouse, but the capsule this year became a clear plastic storage tube, since they knew they'd be moving. No matter, it worked
well.
The memory I'd like folks to pray over was of the little girl, Anna, who did not end up becoming part of our family. At that reunion, the Professor and I had received word from our adoption agency that there was a little girl from China who had been adopted, but for some reason, her adoptive parents could not keep her. The parents were trying to decide between us and another family for her new placement. It was a heartbreak to find out that she would not be coming to us as her forever family, but I sure do pray for little Anna, and that things are good for her now. Our adoption journey came to an end 2 years ago in October. We also pray for all the children without homes and families to love them, especially as we are in the midst of such an awesome extended family here this w
eek.
But enough melancholy...in addition to the time capsule and general laying around (I also wanted to post close-ups of some of the VERY decorative cookies for your viewing pleasure), Brother J and his crew finally arrived, and we had an awesome beach campfire.
