Nashville Area Adoptive Families Picnic

The first picnic in May was such a great opportunity to meet other adoptive families! We promised we would do it again:

October 25, 2008
2pm - 6pm
River Park, Concord Rd, Brentwood, TN
Bring a covered dish, plates and utensils for your family

Hope to see you there. I'll put up reminders as it gets closer but mark your calendars.

Of course Natalie - the more the merrier. We had a family from Alabama and from Memphis last time. If you are willing to make the drive, we would love to see you.
