Easter 2007

Faith celebrated her first Easter in Moab with some of her bestest little buddies.

Each year we travel to Moab, Utah for the "Jeep Safari" and spend time with our friends, the Paxman's and their three adorable little kids (Reagan, Renlee & Ryker). We love being able to visit them and they are always so accommodating and fun! Faith will have a special connection for life with Renlee and Ryker who also lived at the St. Lucy's Center in Taiwan for a few months before Rory & Rachel were able to bring them home and into their families. It is so fun to watch them all play together.

We traveled down and stayed at The Paxman's home along with some of our other close friends the Tippett's (they have four adorable children; Konnley, Jaden, Jaciee & Kameron).

We have friends who travel from Colorado come and join in the fun in Moab as well and everyone meets at the Bisco's (Josh, Kali, Tanner & Breahnna) to have a big feast each night and then on Easter Sunday they hold an annual Easter egg hunt for all the kids. It is always so much fun and we love spending time with all of our friends.

Although when we arrived Thursday night and turned in for the night Faith woke in the middle of the night sick as could be and continued this way for our whole stay (until Monday) we tried our best to be apart of things. This was our first experience as parents dealing with a sick baby. It was awful! I felt so bad for her and there wasn't much I could do. She spent most of the time sleeping and laying on mom's lap. She did continue to smile and be her cute little self though (what a trooper). I want to say "THANKS BIG TIME Rachel for helping me and cleaning all the blankets and close over and over again. You are so sweet and such a wonderful host. I am so grateful for your love and support. You are the best!"

It was a bit of an interesting holiday weekend to say the least but we survived, as did poor little Faith and all went well as we traveled. Even when she is sick she is the best little girl in the world!
