because we live here......with THE rock & the buffalo

they're even cute from the back.

last week our sweet friends came to visit us in SD from Wisconsin. 

the mama, Deena, and i found each other during our adoption processes through blogging.....

3 years ago? 

 this is the 3rd time we have met face-to-face
