Camp

Jessica and Erika returned home from our church girl's camp last week and had a blast! One of the leaders informed me the 2nd day in, that Jessica was asking to go home; she was home sick! Well - we kept her there anyway knowing that this was good for her to be there, and she ended up having such a good time.

Originally, I was really worried about how Erika would do. She is our "sensitive" one when it comes to the abandonment issues that you deal with, when adopting. I don't think she wanted to come home from camp...the first thing she said was "that went way too fast, I wanted more days!". This is PROGRESS! We have had a few issues with Erika not wanting us to go anywhere or do anything without her being by our side. She would not want us going on any dates (unless it included her), she would not sleep over at any of her girl friend's slumber parties, etc. Not anymore. I think Jessica is becoming the softy now! We are very happy with how far the girls have come. They really are such awesome kids and we are lucky to have them in our family.

So, I wanted to post pictures that the girls took while they were at camp. This was just the opportunity they needed to boost their self-confidence, and make some great friends!!
