Heading to the birthday party

Good morning...we leave very soon for breakfast and then check out, and then we are off to the orphanage. I am so excited about this day...we have cake, and juice, bananas and watermelons for the children. We added to the decorations left up since last year and the room looks beautiful! We presented the director with his gift yesterday. Shannon made a book on Shutterfly from the pictures Tabitha gave us from last year. He really enjoyed it....I want the team to know that the jungle room is a favorite for the kids....some of them love looking at your names and practice saying them in English! I did not sleep well (as most of the kids probably did not). I am so excited about the party, and about meeting Amanda, but very sad to leave the kids at Hohhot. I am also terribly worried about the babies and am really eager to get there and have Lily translate.
Alex, Ben, and Jack, I LOVED hearing your voices and learning that you are well. Please be good helpers for Grandad and Daddy, and I will see you soon! Sugar, thank you for taking good care of Alex and bringing him home. I will look forward to talking to you soon!

Love,

Eve

Hi Eve,

I have loved reading your posts and I so wish I could have been there. Reading your beautifully detailed descriptions make me feel as if I am right there with you. Thank you. Your pictures are gorgeous. I can certainly see the Lord's hand all around you! God bless all of you!
