Thanksgiving at preschool
The teachers at Karys’ preschool laid out quite the spread today for their annual Thanksgiving meal. Parents were invited to come and eat with their children so I was able to visit with Karys for the very first time.
Before eating, each class gave a small presentation of songs they had learned. Here is our little squaw following her performance.

Determined to find a way
We told Eliana some time ago that she and Karys would not travel with us to China when we go to pick up their brother. Finances is the big reason (of course) but there are others. Needless to say, Eliana wants desperately to go.
Tonight we went out to eat after church with our Youth and Children’s Pastor’s family. Their middle child, a daughter who is 3 years older than Eliana, rode with us.
When we arrived at the restaurant, I heard their daughter tell Eliana that she was saving up her money for a Nintendo DS. Eliana replied that she is saving up her money so she can go to China.
The child is determined to find a way.
