Our day, explained (or at least an attempt at it)

March 29, 2010

Its funny, you sit down to write with so many intense things to write about but its nearly impossible to get any of them into words. No matter how hard I try to explain what life is like here or what all is going on with the kids in the orphanage, I know that I [...]

More details about our trip to the south

March 26, 2010

I feel like we did not tell very much about our trip to the south because we were thrown right into the medical things that needed to happen. Our trip down there was really good. Our kids love it in the south. They love being with the kids and the freedom that they have. We [...]
