Hanging out with this bunch of goofballs is a treat. One I truly miss as they lived across the street from us in our old house. We had a wonderful evening together, laughing, praying for the sun to go behind some elusive clouds, and bribing a bunch of teenagers who didn’t want their picture taken. I even busted out my “Hi, my name is Chubby” act, which I generally save for the younger crowd. The Bills family are a truly wonderful and kind group who have now welcomed a third child from Liberia into their family via adoption. Instantly loved, instantly family.
