I had the pleasure on Sunday to be surrounded by some of the most wonderful children in the world (and their parents, too). We hosted a little WI-Kyrgyzstan Family Picnic and I finally got to meet blog buddy, Janiece, her incredible family, and reconnect with two other families of 3 beautiful Kyrgyz adoptees. The weather couldn't have been more beautiful and I think fun was had by all.
We tried really hard to get pictures of the kids sitting together and while it was a valiant effort, children of this particular age group don't seem real interested in posing for a photo op. Try to get them sitting, looking ahead and smiling all at the same time - forget it. They're still pretty darn cute, though!
The whole group!
Julia's expression says it all......
I can't wait until next year when there will be 2 more! (right, Jes?) ;)

I'm just always jealous when I see a gathering because I want to be there too!! *smile* Looks like the kind of fun I would have loved. After the "65" are home, let's plan a huge Kyrgyz reunion!!
I can't believe there was finally a picture posted where E didn't have on his cool dude sunglasses! I almost didn't recognize him...then I saw the sunglasses on his head!
Awesome get together! I definitely second the motion. Once our 65 kids come home we DEFINITELY need to host reunions!!!! Maybe alternate between east coast, west coast, and central each year!!! Of course it will be open to all our Kyrgyz friends... But we'll have to get some kind of shirts made for "our 65"
We drove through Wisconsin on Monday traveling back to Ohio. Our family lives in ND and MN so we were there visiting. When we drove through I told my husband the Fenske's live here. Too bad we didn't have time to stop. Looks like you had an awesome get-together on Sunday! Keep lovin' the heck out of your little boy as you wait for your precious baby girl. Thinking of you...
Looks like an awesome gathering of some awesome kids (and parents!). Your backyard rocks - what is that huge play thing in the background?? Not that we would have enough room for something that cool in our tiny urban backyard :)
