old friends are the best friends

Stef left for a week of overnight camp today. Two of her friends from preschool went as well, which had us all digging out old photos of the three girls together. My, how they've grown!

Happy 4th!

To start our celebration off right, we went to Independence Mall in downtown Philadelphia. We saw the Liberty Bell and then Jena took part in helping to fold the flag in front of the Constitution Center. We ended the morning with a great meal at my favorite Chinese Restaurant in Chinatown. Last time I ate there was the day I had to get my fingerprints repeated for the INS when i was completing my application to adopt Jena. Both girls loved it too and can't wait to go back.
