How We Spent Thanksgiving....

What a great Thanksgiving we had!

We started off the day at the local Metro - which is like Cosco or Sam's Club in the states - we were there to purchase some items for the orphanage! A few of the adoptive families, along with a very generous donation from my college roomate Jen, pitched in to purchase a well needed washing machine and 4 heaters for the

infant rooms (they had no heat!) and a few big containers of laundry detergent. Talk about a great way to do for others on Thanksgiving, having so much to be thankful for.....

Ken & I then joined 25 other American families for a real turkey dinner at a local restaurant - it was fantastic....all the trimmings too. Mmmmm did I love those smashed taters.....doesn't Ken look like he has a little food coma going on?

It was nice to be with all the families and felt sad leaving such a great group of folks - please remember in your thanksgiving prayers all those that still haven't gotten clearance to go home, especially Kenny's pal Helen....

All the packing is done, and we're off early in the morning. So as you are waking up for Thanksgiving at "home", know that we are thinking of you and cant' wait to be with you all. God has certainly blessed us with this little boy - I can't imagine my life without him....

Blessings to all - Claire
