One Small Planet
A Liberian man now living in Minneapolis went home to Africa to see his family. He was talking to someone in Liberia and said, "There are these two Liberian kids in Minneapolis who have been adopted. Their names are Abegail and Emmanuel." The person said, "Oh, those are Alexander's kids." The person the man was talking to happened to be a friend of A&E's birth father, Alexander. The man said, "They are being well cared for." Scott spoke to Alexander while we were in Oklahoma and Alexander repeated this story to him and said, "Thank you so much. I can never repay you. God bless you." That's what I call a small world.
So we have been a bit out of touch lately, normally I blog when we are away but our camera broke and I only took our video camera and it seems to be against my nature to blog without pictures. I have stolen some pictures from our reunion to post this and will work on video of our entire trip tonight. We had a wonderful time in Oklahoma. Good family time and a good time reconnecting with our Liberian friends and their families. Here are some of the photos I have stolen from Val. The first thing I got Lorea to do was give E-man a matching haircut to Akins (Junior) so they looked like brothers.
A trampoline was added to the fun this year and even I got in the action. Have you ever played duck, duck, goose on a trampoline??
It is very fun, try to run a trampoline sometime, it's quite the feat.
I loved having A&E all to myself. Annie stayed back with Grandma, giving me time to just focus on them. I think they liked it too!
And I got some love from both my boys, E-man and Akins (who is as handsome as ever!)
Making S'mores
The whole gang, Sharon, Jemama, & Princess from Wyoming, and Val with Akins (Lorea is taking the picture) the hosts from Tulsa. We also got to see Grandma Joyce.
Bye Akins!
Catch ya later dude!

Catch ya later dude!Quotes From Abegail:
We are watching the news and President Obama is sitting at a table talking with a couple people.
A: Mommy, can we go and sit with the President like that?
M: No.
A: Why?
M: Because you have to be special.
A: But I am special.
