The Raymer's Ethiopian Adoption: Yes, we're still alive.

Thursday, September 11, 2008

Yes, we're still alive.

I will try to catch up on what we've been doing over the past month. At the beginning of August, the kids and I (Dottie) went to Wilmington to attend my friend's wedding. (No I am not crazy enough to take 4 kids on a trip by myself! My parents met us there.) On our trip we....

-went swimming

-visited a battleship

-and an aquarium

-and the wedding of course!
