Patterson x 3!!

We packed up our gear and headed to Warner Robins this past weekend because Matt, Tracie, and their newly adopted, cutie pie, 20-month-old, little china doll were visiting Matt's parents. Matt and I have been dear friends ever since our Recreation days at UGA. He's always been like a brother to me from the day we met. He and his wife of 10 years, Tracie, have been involved in the adoption process through the Chinese government for over 2 years. They finally got the "call", as in "we have a baby for you, get on a plane, and get out here to claim your child," in February of this year. They wasted no time getting airfare, making arrangements for their pups at home, and stepping into the anxious anticipation of becoming parents. Now, after having her for over 2 months, they are doing great and suiting up to be wonderfully loving parents and Miri is head over heels for her new 'rents!! If you'd like the check our their blog, it is as follows...journey2miri.chinastork.com
It's a really cool blog as they captured just about every exciting moment in China, before, during, and now after meeting their new babe.
We knew Reed and Nolan weren't going to nap much because we left after lunch for a 2 hour ride. About 45 minutes into the ride, I turned around and told the boys to quiet down, close their eyes, and take a nap. Reed was willing to ablidge and it took him all of 30 seconds to drift off to la-la-land.



Nolan, on the other hand....


This is Matt, Miri, and the boys sitting outside at Matt parent's house. This was the only picture I could get of the kids together as they were always on the move!
