Megan's Sisters and Brother

As most of you already know, Megan lost her father to cancer a week ago. So we flew to Washington state so that she could go to the memorial and reconnect with family. While there we walked through the first 10 years of her life, retracing areas where she lived and visited, talking about various experiences that she had, both good and bad, while growing up.
Though this was certainly a sad trip, it was also a trip of great blessings. Below are several pictures that I took of Megan's first meeting with her siblings. What an honor it was to meet them. The first picture is of Megan and her brother Michael and her sister Annie. The second is of her sister Breanne.
More pics to follow...

Reunion

Join us in our celebration, our rejoicing in the reuniting of Megan with her half sister Breanne after 24 years!

Unfortunatley the camera that we brought does not have sound, so only the video was recorded, but hey...that is O.K. Megan is no less thrilled! She did say that both agreed that it was a little anti-climatic since they have been talking on the phone for a while and also because they have felt like they have known one another forever! :) But never the less what a great night amid a time of great sorrow.
